The Last Witch Hunter (2015)
Vin Diesel stars in this fantasy action movie that’s based on the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns of the character Melkor the Witch-Hunter. Kaulder (Diesel) in The Last Witch Hunter is immortal and on a mission to save the world from a fast-spreading plague.
Despite receiving largely negative reviews, The Last Witch Hunter reportedly has a sequel in the works anyway. It performed well at the box office because who can resist Diesel in a cape as an angry knight-turned-witch cursed with eternal life? Watch and make a judgment call for yourself.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)
It’s not the best-reviewed Tom Cruise action flick, but the actor was still praised for his performance in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, as were the fantastic action sequences. It’s the plot that was met with criticism. Plot? Who needs a plot? It’s all about the action, and Cruise never fails to deliver in this department.
A sequel to Jack Reacher, based on the Lee Child novel and character, Never Go Back follows Reacher (Cruise) on the run with Army Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), who has been framed. Together, the pair uncover a conspiracy while fighting to clear Susan’s name. Fun fact: Child makes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him cameo in the film as a TSA agent.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)
Jason Lee portrays martial arts icon Bruce Lee in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, a biographical action drama about his life and career as a martial artist. Following his move from Hong Kong to the U.S., his career as a martial arts teacher, and his break into movies and TV, the film also touches on topics of racism.
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story was dedicated to Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee, who tragically died weeks before the movie was released. Paying homage to the talented martial artist who starred in one of the best action movies ever, Enter the Dragon, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is a fitting tribute to the multi-talented man who tragically died too soon. The film, not surprisingly, was a massive commercial success when it was originally released, and it remains just as entertaining today.
