Ah, Wednesday—just a mere 48 plus more hours until the weekend. It’s the middle child of your workweek, not as traumatic as the first of the week but not as cute as the last day of the week. It’s the extra kale in a pulled pork sandwich. It’s like a love scene in the middle of an action movie. It’s just unnecessary. If you’re fighting the fight, and you were already struggling with your work week at 8:15am sharp on Monday morning and somehow survived to see Wednesday, you need an extra pep in your step. And we know, you’re thinking we were going to send a bunch of comedies your way. You don’t need a laugh, you need a little bit of motivation. You need to Rocky Balboa your way through Wednesday… then Thursday… then FRIDAY. Just take each day like a whole flight of stairs. One step at a time. One minute=one step. That’s 1,440 steps each day. WOW. You have about 4,320 more minutes until the weekend, including today. You need a break between now and then, and might we suggest a full-blown fighting action movie? Take your pick of the list below, movie roulette style, or maybe a safe option like Top Gun: Maverick. It was a classic approximately five minutes after it was released. It was one of the most watched movies of the year last year, this year, and probably every year.
Anyway, you have like 4,000 more minutes, spend 120 of those minutes amping yourself up Liam Neeson style. Might we suggest finding some middle ground between a Matthew McConaughey and Liam Neeson. If you go full blown Liam Neeson, that’d be a liability.
YOU GOT THIS. Unless you don’t, then by all means take a sick day and watch a good fall comfort show.
In no particular order, here are 42 action movies to help you find the fight to get through the rest of your week!
The Fall Guy: Extended Cut on Peacock
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning: Part One
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
Mean Girls – Those jungle scenes in the hallway? Intense.
If you think that good action movies don’t need a random nude scene or profane language, or you have a strict “no beheading” policy, we got you. Watch all the action without that action with VidAngel. VidAngel allows you to clean up your movies, one graphic scene at a time. Watch movies and shows you love without the parts you don’t.
