Several higher-profile movies that would most likely have earned a spot on this list have moved to 2021, and plenty of smaller films just never went into production at all. It hasn\u2019t affected all genres as evident by the abundance of terrific horror films released in 2020, but action movies took a real and tangible beating.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean for a list of the year\u2019s twenty best action films? Well, it means several movies have landed a spot here that in a normal year would have managed only an honorable mention. It should also come as no surprise that Netflix landed more spots on the list than its originals would typically secure too. So yes, some of these are far from \u201cgreat\u201d action films, but guess what? They\u2019re still the best that 2020 had to offer.

Fabrizio Gifuni plays a military veteran who returned from war a wounded man resulting in a separation from his wife and children, but when his young daughter is abducted his fatherly instinct returns with a determined vengeance. Director Ludovico Di Martino delivers a small scale car chase and some mean brawls with a film that\u2019s less interested in style, \u201ccool\u201d set-pieces, or memorable fight choreography. <em>Available to stream on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_The_Outpost\"><\/span>19.

The ensemble comes to life naturally through character beats (and less so through an incessant amount of onscreen name introductions), and Lurie finds emotion in the deaths sprinkled throughout the constant insurgent attacks. The low budget leaves viewers stuck with some ugly digital effects, but the cast (including a fantastic Caleb Landry Jones) does good work making us care all the same. <em>Available to stream on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Time_to_Hunt_South_Korea\"><\/span>18.

His latest kicks off in the near future as a group of young friends plan and execute a heist to lift themselves out of poverty only to end up with a merciless hitman on their tail. It\u2019s overlong and the action is a bit too sparse for the running time, but but once it hits the run and gun action thrills. The film\u2019s score and cinematography are even more compelling, though, making for an attractive action\/drama. <em>Available to stream on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Monster_Hunter\"><\/span>17.

It\u2019s a big creature feature with Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa facing off against the big beasties, and there\u2019s fun to be had in the carnage. The film ends before the third act really even begins, and some of the action is edited in a blender, but it\u2019s an entertaining diversion thanks to the slaughter and some terrific CG monsters. <em>Available to rent.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Peninsula_South_Korea\"><\/span>16.

What <em>Peninsula<\/em> (my full review) lacks in terror, though, it nearly makes up for with its premise involving a heist set during a zombie apocalypse. It gets a bit too cutesy with its child protagonists, but the car chases and zombie hordes combine to deliver some fun thrills and CG-assisted stunts.
