Riders of Justice is way more than an action movie, it's weirdly touching
Shang-Chi's bus fight > every other Marvel fight scene
Wrath of Man is so underrated, Statham at his coldest
The Suicide Squad is what the first one should have been
Nobody is the most fun I had in a theater that year
Same, the bus fight alone is worth it
No Time to Die ending still hurts
Red Notice on a best-of list? It's fine for a lazy Sunday but come on
Raging Fire at #1 is a bold pick but honestly correct. That final fight is insane.
