Recently watched last action hero and hot damn John McTiernan could stage an action scene. It’s truly a lost art nowadays.

After LAH I watched predator, die hard and hunt for red October (hadn’t seen these in years so wanted to see more of his style during a bundle) and his action scenes were so vivid and organic with just the right amount of style. What happened to directing action like that? It seems like a lost art of sorts. I know fury road went there but it seems very rare nowadays. Don’t get me wrong, I love 2012 style expectable but it’s so rare to get such competent action straight through a whole movie. This is why I still love winter soldier. The bridge car chase and fight scene had this organic feeling to it. I wonder if we can get this style back into Movies. Another set of movies that come close is cliffhanger and the long kiss goodnight but those were by Renny Harlin.
