      The Last Witch Hunter (2015)

      Vin Diesel stars in this fantasy action film inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns featuring the character Melkor the Witch-Hunter. In The Last Witch Hunter, Kaulder (Diesel) is immortal and tasked with saving the world from a rapidly spreading plague.

      Despite receiving mostly negative reviews, The Last Witch Hunter has a sequel reportedly in development. It performed surprisingly well at the box office, largely because who can resist Diesel in a cape as an irate knight cursed with immortality? Watch it and decide for yourself.

      Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

      While it may not be the highest-rated action movie starring Tom Cruise, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back received acclaim for Cruise's performance and its impressive action sequences, although the plot faced criticism. Who needs a strong plot when the action is what matters? Cruise consistently delivers in this regard.

      This sequel to Jack Reacher, based on the novel by Lee Child, follows Reacher (Cruise) as he goes on the run with Army Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), who has been framed. Together, they uncover a conspiracy while working to prove Susan’s innocence. Fun fact: Lee Child makes a brief cameo in the film as a TSA agent.

      Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)

      Jason Lee takes on the role of the martial arts legend Bruce Lee in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, a biographical action drama detailing his life and career as a martial artist. The film chronicles his transition from Hong Kong to the U.S., his journey as a martial arts instructor, and his entrance into films and television, while also addressing issues of racism.

      Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is dedicated to Bruce Lee's son, Brandon Lee, who sadly passed away just weeks before the film's release. This tribute to the talented martial artist, known for starring in one of the greatest action films ever, Enter the Dragon, serves as a fitting homage to the multi-faceted individual who left us too soon. Unsurprisingly, the film was a significant commercial success upon its initial release and continues to entertain audiences today.
