THX 04 | SvdW film reviews

ACTIONx52 returns in 2022 with guns blazin’.
There are 52 action films, they can be watched weekly or they can be watched as quickly as possible, the goal is simply to watch these in 2022.
All films can either be first time watches or rewatches. The picks must meet the following criteria, no matter how loosely.
All 52 films need to be reviewed (even if it's just a short sentence!) and tagged ''actionx52'' and ''actionx522''.

The challenge starts as of 01/01/22, anyone wishing to take part can submit a list in the comments below and I will comment on your list with my choice for #52.

All you have to do is create your own list that fills the criteria below and post it into the comments on this thread. (YOU CAN JOIN AT ANY POINT, EVEN AFTER THE MONTH OF THE CHALLENGE HAS BEGUN). Once you have done that I will add your name and your list up here, and once we get underway you simply have to watch and review each of your chosen films.

Be sure to include a link back to this thread in each of your own lists so others can participate if they want to, and also make sure you number your lists so they can be cross-referenced easily. I would also recommend adding the respective tasks to the comments of each film on your list.

Added Note:
As you might have realised already, this is clearly strongly inspired by kynky’s HORRORx52 Challenge, which you should definitely check out as well.

And... Gang_Star made a special Challenge inspired by this one for Asian action movies. Be sure to check that one out too.
