Action movies are a Hollywood staple. They offer viewers excitement, thrill, and an escape from the mundane. These movies have huge budgets and rake in hundreds of millions of dollars as they go on to be box-office hits. This is why studios are picky about when to release them.

8) Army of the Dead
Coming from the acclaimed Zack Snyder, Zombie fans will love this Ocean's Eleven-style heist in a dystopian Las Vegas.
