Badass Movies

Submitted by Fruitlutz5 t3_yed6as in movies

What are some of your favorite movies that are badass. And not the cheesy kind because they’re trying to hard to be badass, just straight up badass movies. (i.e. Sicario or Heat) I’m just in the mood for a movie like this and want to see if people have suggestions other than ones I’ve seen a bunch of times.

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions everyone

The Protector, Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior

Ambulance was the kind of movie I needed this year. Just old school violence and destruction.

I always felt like an underrated badass movie was Quigley Down Under. It’s like an 1890’s Diehard movie.

Sicario definitely, but honestly, Halloween 2018. If you like the way the director crafted the scenes to get peak intensity in Sicario, Halloween 2018 has that palpable intensity as well. Obviously a different genre and experience but really just has some captivating scenes in my opinion. David Gordon Green is awesome.

You’re Next is another good one for pure intensity. Drive as well.
