Action films of all types and budgets are coming out left and right. With all the streaming services, direct-to-vod, and smaller theater runs, films that may not even have gotten greenlit at all years ago are making it to our eyeballs fairly easily. With so many titles coming, which ones should everyone look forward to? Here are five action films that are coming out relatively soon that we’re looking forward to.
Darkness of Man (2023)
The new Jean-Claude Van Damme flick just wrapped and should be coming out later this year. It’s being labelled as a neo-noir action thriller. The story follows an Interpol operative played by Jcvd who ends up entangled in a gang turf war when he takes an informant’s son under his wing. Of course, things go from bad to worse, and some Jcvd heroics are needed to save the day. The film comes courtesy...

New Indie Some films – the early works of John Waters or David Lynch, for example – defy easy labels like “good,” “bad” or “entertaining.” They want to burrow under your skin and make you uncomfortable. And if they achieve that, they’re successes. Which brings us to The Greasy Stranger (FilmRise). Here’s a movie that wants to drive you up the wall with grotesque visuals and screamy performances, underscored by intentionally discordant music that pokes you in the earhole. It’s annoying as hell, but it’s supposed to be, so it’s kind of a triumph. You should watch it, even it sets your teeth on edge. It’s meant to. Also available: In the thriller The Shadow Effect (Momentum Pictures, featured...

The Shadow Effect is a sci-fi, action-thriller directed by Obin Olson and Amariah Olson, and starring Cam Gigandet.
