10 Underrated Action Movies In The Last 5 Years (And Where To Watch Them)
When it comes to action movies, there are plenty of films that are not only underestimated but also undervalued. These movies often get bad reviews from critics, are ignored when it comes to awards season, and are written off as campy or cringe because they take a chance to try something new. Basically, these action movies are underrated—and we’re here to fix that.
Celebrity Picks
Not every comedy stands the test of time. A lot of them work in the moment, when the jokes feel fresh, and the references line up with whatever people were into at the time. But after a few years, the humor doesn't feel the same anymore. However, a select few become evergreen hits. When asked about his guilty pleasure rewatch, Hero Fiennes Tiffin named one of these as his favorite.
A lot of shows are made to be watched once because they're built around big reveals or plot twists that lose their impact the second time around. You finish them, maybe recommend them, and move on. That's the deal. But the shows that don't rely on a payoff every five minutes are the ones that do the rounds on people's watch lists. And the same can be said for Antony Starr.
Actor John Slattery rose to fame in Mad Men, in which he played the booze-loving advertising executive, Roger Sterling. His other credits include playing Howard Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as films like Spotlight and Traffic. John Slattery can most recently be found playing Colonel Burton C. Andrus in the gripping thriller Nuremberg.

Horror can sometimes work best when it embraces a slow-burn approach, allowing the tension to ratchet up over time and then explode into some giant scares. The concept goes back to the early days of TV, when shows like The Twilight Zone (1959) made episodic horror a bedrock of the medium. In the 21st century, shows like American Horror Story (2011) have highlighted the enduring flexibility of the genre, playing with style and focus while retaining the strengths of the television medium.
From (2022) has never been one of those shows that slowly hands you answers, piece by piece, until everything clicks into place. If anything, it feels like it's doing the exact opposite— pulling you deeper in every time you think you've figured something out, only to reveal that whatever clarity you just gained is part of a much bigger, much stranger system.
Five months isn't exactly a long wait in the grand scheme of television. But for a show like From (2022), where every episode tends to end with more questions than answers, it might as well be an eternity. Now, the series is officially back for Season 4, picking up where things left off. And, if the trailer is anything to go by, the new installment will push its characters even further into the unknown.
