But pure action isn't just about action...

It's about the movie having little redeeming qualities beyond the action.

John Wick has an actual story - so that disqualifies it as the best pure action movie of all time.

The Expendables franchise?

Con Air is?

300?

London Has Fallen might be up there - damn that movie was seriously bad.

All of the above are seriously retarded movies that are nothing but mindless action.

John Wick tries to be something more - so no, it's not the best pure action movie.

I think John Wick and Payback are very similar with Mel Gibson.

Actually I think John Wick is a rip-off of Payback.

Shame Payback doesn't get the love John Wick gets.

Because Payback is a better film than John Wick.

BadBoysII is one of my go to action flicks. Guns, fast cars, women, helicopters, comedy, the KKK, drugs, and a crazy Russian.

What else can you ask for?
