Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek Directed By: Patrick Hughes #83 The Whole Nine Yards (2000) 43% #83 Adjusted Score: 46184% Critics Consensus: Despite a charming cast, The Whole Nine Yards can't tickle funny bones consistently enough to distract from its sitcom-like story.

Jackson, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas Directed By: Patrick Hughes #93 Polar (2019) 18% #93 Adjusted Score: 19850% Critics Consensus: An action thriller starring Mads Mikkelsen as the world's most dangerous assassin should be terrifically entertaining, but Polar proves it's possible to ruin anything if you try. Synopsis: The world's top assassin, Duncan Vizla, aka The Black Kaiser, is settling into retirement when his former employer marks him... [More] Starring: Mads Mikkelsen, Vanessa Hudgens, Ruby O. Fee, Robert Maillet Directed By: Jonas Akerlund #94 Run All Night (2015) 59% #94 Adjusted Score: 65607% Critics Consensus: Liam Neeson is in typically fine form, but Run All Night suffers from a convoluted plot and workmanlike execution.

[More] Starring: Liam Neeson, Ed Harris, Joel Kinnaman, Common Directed By: Jaume Collet-Serra #95 Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) 60% #95 Adjusted Score: 66779% Critics Consensus: Though it runs dangerously close to being a pure sugar rush with no substance, Gunpowder Milkshake is a brutal blast that will absorb audiences into its neon-infused universe.

[More] Starring: Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Michelle Yeoh Directed By: Navot Papushado #96 The Bourne Legacy (2012) 55% #96 Adjusted Score: 63933% Critics Consensus: It isn't quite as compelling as the earlier trilogy, but The Bourne Legacy proves the franchise has stories left to tell -- and benefits from Jeremy Renner's magnetic work in the starring role. Synopsis: When the actions of Jason Bourne spark a fire that threatens to burn down decades of research across a number... [More] Starring: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach Directed By: Tony Gilroy #97 Unknown (2011) 55% #97 Adjusted Score: 62120% Critics Consensus: Liam Neeson elevates the proceedings considerably, but Unknown is ultimately too derivative -- and implausible -- to take advantage of its intriguing premise.

Synopsis: It's been 10 years since Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) walked away from the agency that trained him to become a... [More] Starring: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel Directed By: Paul Greengrass #99 The Mechanic (2011) 54% #99 Adjusted Score: 59611% Critics Consensus: Jason Statham and Ben Foster turn in enjoyable performances, but this superficial remake betrays them with mind-numbing violence and action thriller cliches.

Henson, Billy Brown, Jahi Di'Allo Winston, Neal McDonough Directed By: Babak Najafi #114 The Jackal (1997) 24% #114 Adjusted Score: 25145% Critics Consensus: The Jackal is a relatively simple chase thriller incapable of adding thrills or excitement as the plot chugs along.
