    Gotta say - searching the Bay of Pirates, while a little under-the-influence, with the search term "action usa" - led me to queueing up a LOT of content.
    I haven't yet reviewed my actions in the boring light of sobriety, but I have a fuzzy memory of "Con Train", "Caged Heat", and know that there were many others I don't remember.

    Hey! I didn't say what I was under the influence of.
    On the occasion of typing "action usa" into a torrent search engine - I was actually rather stoned, more than anything else.

    Whisper it... Fair bit of booze in the system also, to be fair.

    So... upon review... Shit that I queued up based on "action usa"

    • Action USA
    • Caged Heat
    • Death Race - State of Division (I recall now being intrigued by this, being a massive fan of the classic Death Race 2000 - starring David Carradine and a very young Sly Stallone, and a high titwatch - should maybe do an intoxicated review of that one day, brilliant film. But anyway, this seems to be something "WWII action" and I seem to recall... sounds like a seppo plane vs Rommel tank Duel... as in, Spielberg probably watched it before doing Duel)
    • The Great Texas Dynamite Chase (apparently - "sexploitation action" - not sure of my reasoning behind choosing this one)

    You guys are probably too grumpy and old for this, but I took the boys to Red One the other weekend, and it was so much better than I expected. Genuine action Christmas movie, lots of humour, some great actions scenes, and some really cool 'bad' characters that were actually based off Christmas lore from Europe. All three of my boys (3, 6 and 11) loved it.

    Ten years since Edge of Tomorrow got released. Best video game movie ever (despite not being based on a video game). Holds up brilliantly on rewatch - it is superb.

    And of course

    Five reboots out of five Omegas

    I'll watch it at least twice a year. Brilliant movie.

    @nzzp Only movies that come close are the two Crank films. I think of them as kind of GTA adaptations.

    right up there with movies like "The Martian" that if i come across them on tv i'll happily sit down and watch

    the video games comment really threw me, before reading on, was very much "WHAT? how did i not know it was a video game...must play"

    very torn between wanting the sequel to happen...and wanting them to just leave it as it is

    Was joking that we should re-release the movie with 'Edge of Tomorrow 2' ... but the movie is identical 😃

    The trailer is already better than the last 8 seasons of The Walking Dead and its associated spinoffs

    Given those infected with The Rage were already starving to death after 28 Days how the fuck have they survived 28 years?
