The best fighters of all time according to Esquire

Noisiest, powerful and crazy movies of those that took to the big screen.

1. "Total Recall" (Paul Verhoeven, 1990)

Simple New York worker - played by a young Arnie with intact Austrian accent - suddenly begins to see strange dreams about Mars with an attractive brunette. He decides to use the services of the mysterious corporation and implanted into your brain memories of the Red Planet. Something goes wrong, the protagonist does not know anything, we do not understand anything, meanwhile Arnie is already in the cycle of deadly clashes, striking one another.

Compelling plot moves, hooker with three breasts and existential chaos: what more to wish from a good thriller?

2. "Mad Max: Road Rage" (George Miller, 2015)

Full of adrenaline, not giving for breath brutal 120-minute car chase. Besides monstrous machines in the frame from time to time flashed Tom Hardy as Max and Charlize Theron with her indomitable warrior Furioso, racing in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

3. "Die Hard" (John McTiernan, 1988)

Perhaps the best Christmas movies of all time: "Die Hard" - a story about how one tough guy almost single-handedly deals with the entire terrorist organization. In the title role - Bruce Willis, even with hair.

4. "Hard Boiled" (John Woo, 1992)

Classic Hong Kong police thriller, "Hard Boiled" - is a complete history of the shootings of weapons smuggling, corruption and betrayal. The tape lasts two hours, but it looks the same breath - is not a sign of a perfect action movie? In addition, it should be noted brilliantly shot scenes of fights with the use of martial arts: they are inspired by Western filmmakers for decades to come.

5. "Con Air" (Simon West, 1997)

Today is not the one remembers that once, Nicolas Cage starred in a truly original film. "Con Air" - one of them, albeit with a completely stupid plot.

Trapped on board the transport plane in the company of the most dangerous criminals in the world, our guy Nick should rashlebat bloody mess, brewed villain John Malkovich, to get home to his beloved wife and daughter.

6. "Terminator" (James Cameron, 1984)

Godfather daddy of all modern fighters. There is a feeling that Schwarzenegger was born for the role emotionless cyborg with contempt related to human life.

7. "Taken" (Pierre Morel, 2007)

Liam Neeson's daughter is kidnapped in Paris, and it would be better to believe the bandits that the head of the family is set seriously.

And let's monologues, beginning with, "When I find you ..." at some point, begin to irritate, one can not deny the impact that "Taken" has had on the genre. By a rough estimate, published 1000 gross forgeries desperately trying to repeat the successful formula original.

8. "Rambo: First Blood" (Ted Kotcheff, 1982)

Stallone has repeatedly played a Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic syndrome, who thinks fast, but faster presses the trigger. And let the later films of Rambo slipped into the absurd, the first part was a real and serious superzhestokoy tape. Another young Sly climbs through the jungle without a shirt and with bloodshot eyes in search of the enemies not quite dead. This is convincing.

9. "The Fugitive" (Andrew Davies, 1993)

Let the film a little lost on the background of other career achievements Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones role, Han Solo and Blade Runner, to be precise), "Runaway", nevertheless, prepared a hell of a compelling story for the viewer.

Accused of a crime he did not commit (Harrison Ford would not have killed his own wife, we're sure), the protagonist must escape from the police walking on the trail and find the real criminal to clear his good name.

Obviously, on his way there are some obstacles.

10. "Real" (Michael Mann, 1995)

One. Last thing. Robbery. At least, so it was plotting a criminal genius hero Robert De Niro. But something went wrong, and we've got about three hours of excellent action.

Is the case, when De Niro and Al Pacino have formed on the screen a perfect duo: "Real" is a wonderful balance between to show the human side of their heroes and one of the most furious firefights in the history of cinema.
