I don't know if i have seen Sucker Punch.
I like the Bourne series, I like action or spy movies that are set in Europe and most of the Bourne movies are. It instantly seems more sophisticated when it's set in Europe.
'Taken' is also in that category.
I like the Mad Max series, and most post-apocalyptic movies. Especially when they create a whole new world with the art direction (like Mad Max does).
I like the first Die Hard.
I like 'Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels', 'Snatch', 'Layer Cake', 'Croupier', ' The Limey', 'Sexy Beast' 'In Bruges'. Loved 'Sin City'. I like most of Tarantino's stuff. I LOVED 'The Hateful Eight' (although that is more of a western than a contemporary action movie, but it has a modern point of view).
I guess I like action movies when they have a more post-modern, ironic, rock&roll kind of vibe, if that makes sense. Movies with anti-hero instead of very simplistic good guys and bad guys.
