Fresh and Certified Fresh 2021 action movies ranked by Tomatometer, including Black Widow, Nobody, Gunpowder Milkshake and more!
- Raging Fire. When it comes to the best action film of 2021, it's not really a contest. There's more glorious action in the first 20 minutes of "Raging Fire" than in entire movies on this list.
- Wrath of Man. The experience of watching "Wrath of Man" is to wait for it to become a typical Guy Ritchie movie. It never does. Yes, some of the British director's hallmarks are there — sophomoric banter, audacious music cues — but they're downplayed and mostly absent.
- Nobody. There are multiple American dreams. One of them is suburbia. For many, the promise of a white picket fence and financial security is Elysium on Earth.
- Riders of Justice. I imagine this list already has some readers wondering what my definition of an action movie actually is, and "Riders of Justice" will only confuse the issue.

- CopShop
- Nobody
- No Time to Die
- Raging Fire
- The Suicide Squad
- Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings
