The best action movies of the 2010s includes major blockbusters from the MCU alongside indie flicks that most people probably never even heard of.

But it was sometimes hard to see through the crowd and find the cream of the crop when it comes to the best action movies of the 2010s. That’s why we’re here to do you a service and present a collection of reviews of action movies in which our critics, or Roger Ebert himself, gave the explosive action 3.5 or 4 stars.
