John Wick, Tom Cruise, and Nobody - has a new form of action hero taken charge of our cinema screens?
This article first appeared in Film Stories issue 38 in November 2022.
Action movies are often a form of wish fulfilment, and their heroic leads tend to follow distinguishable trends. As society changes, so does the need that cinematic entertainment fulfils. Some have argued that the 'action hero' is dead and that we have no modem equivalent. Maybe instead the reality is hidden before our eyes and the modem action hero is dictated by an unspoken public desire: to see irrefutable and unambiguous competence.
With a concept no more complicated than 'retired and feared assassin returns because they made him, dammit!', the John Wick movies are simple in concept yet slick in execution. In the films it's a fool's errand to take on Wick's all-encompassing skill - and he has plenty of similarly competent colleagues from the last few years...

<p>Action movies are often a form of wish fulfilment, and their heroic leads tend to follow distinguishable trends. As society changes, so does the need that cinematic entertainment fulfils. Some have argued that the &#8216;action hero&#8217; is dead and that we have no modem equivalent. Maybe instead the reality is hidden before our eyes and the modem action hero is dictated by an unspoken public desire: to see irrefutable and unambiguous competence.</p>



<p>With a concept no more complicated than &#8216;retired and feared assassin returns because they made him, dammit!&#8217;, the <em>John Wick</em> movies are simple in concept yet slick in execution. In the films it&#8217;s a fool&#8217;s errand to take on Wick&#8217;s all-encompassing skill &#8211; and he has plenty of similarly competent colleagues from the last few years&#8230;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-evolving">Evolving</h2>



<p>Past decades are associated with iconic hero archetypes that synchronised with the popular mood. The money-soaked &#8217;80s showcased (overwhelmingly) men who mowed down hordes of barely defined bad guys: in the Reagan and Thatcher era, winning was all that mattered. In the &#8217;90s we seemed in the midst of great social strides and within such relative comfort a more everyday hero arose. <em>Die Hard </em>swept big in 1988, and for the next decade John McClane heralded a wave of seemingly regular Joes getting the job done.</p>



<p>With an explosion obsession that would embarrass a TNT manufacturer, director Michael Bay reigned as master of this approach with big box office hitters <em>Bad Boys </em>(1995), <em>The Rock </em>(1996), and <em>Armageddon </em>(1998). But movies like <em>Speed </em>(1994), <em>Independence Day </em>(1996), <em>Con Air </em>(1997), and arguably even <em>Air Force One </em>(1997) also fit the bill.</p>



<p>Be you president of the USA, an air force pilot or a bunch of convicted criminals, these movie heroes worked within pro-authoritarian themes where you had to shake free from bureaucratic stiffs and do what needed to be done by force of will; the old guard was torn up to be replaced by common sense.</p>



<p>Shortly thereafter, and in the wake of unspeakable terrorism, such self-assured confidence understandably took a hit. Cinemas instead filled out for movies that would trade on paranoia <em>(The Bourne Identity </em>and its sequels), simple pleasures (fast cars and- deep breath- faaaahmily as 2001&#8217;s <em>The Fast And The Furious</em> kicked off the franchise), or the ever-reliable Tom Cruise in a handful of <em>Mission: Impossible </em>movies, <em>Minority Report (2002), </em>and <em>The Last Samurai </em>(2003).</p>



<p>Even Bond almost-kind-of turned into darkness with the opening 30 minutes of <em>Die Another Day </em>(2002). And of course <em>Iron Man</em> (2008) lobbed an unstoppable snowball when it came to the box office. But simmering away was a subdivision of action star. Outside of the Hollywood boom of caped crusaders, France sowed the first seeds of a lead for more modern times.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-particular-set-of-skills">A particular set of skills</h2>



<p>Off the back of hits <em>Leon </em>and <em>The Fifth Element, </em>French director Luc Besson co-wrote a script based on a simple idea from countryman Pierre Morel: what lengths would a father go to rescue his daughter? This <em>menage a deux</em> of creatives cast Liam Neeson as retired CIA officer Bryan Mills, a man who used a highly effective and nasty array of &#8216;particular skills&#8217;.</p>



<p>2008&#8217;s <em>Taken </em>(if you hadn&#8217;t guessed) put Neeson in a hitherto unprecedented action role for the actor. His biggest credits to that point<strong> </strong>were when he outwitted Nazis in <em>Schindler&#8217;s List </em>(1993), declared airport feelings in <em>Love Actually </em>(2003), and was outmanoeuvred by Ray Park in <em>The Phantom Menace </em>(1999). In Bryan Mills, <em>Taken </em>laid the groundwork for the main ingredients of ultra-competence: an undeniably righteous reason to act and a reluctant but ultimately feared lead.</p>



<p><em>Taken </em>resonated with audiences in a way hardly expected by anyone, least of all Liam Neeson. A gross of $226 million on a budget of $2m spoke to the central appeal of the character. Sure, the stunts were great and the set pieces well-crafted, but there are a plethora of other action movies with higher budgets that failed to inspire such cultural resonance. Who else but Neeson could go on to make a few quid growling threats to promote a smartphone game?</p>



<p>Fuelled by social media and news sources that overtly nail down the compass of their political leanings, a dominant tang in the air of public discourse over the last 10 to 15 years is uncertainty. You can&#8217;t spend any time on Twitter [ah, an innocent time &#8211; 2025 ed], for example, without experiencing people who are very sure indeed on both sides of the coin, to the extent that it&#8217;s very difficult to read such material and know your own mind.</p>



<p>The films that have struck a chord with audiences in the wake of online discourse have developed a trend of lead characters who are reassuringly, powerfully, and indisputably right. <em>Taken </em>may have ripped a blood-soaked leaf out of Jack Bauer&#8217;s torture handbook, but the movie made little doubt such acts were necessary.</p>



<p><em>John Wick </em>(2014) made it even simpler. Dog! Car! Oh no! The character archetype is always presented as just reluctant enough to be perceived pure, and justified enough to bounce criticisms off like a bullet-proof vest. And Keanu Reeves got another <em>Bill &amp; Ted </em>movie out of his buoyed popularity. Win, win, and gosh darn win.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-new-trend">A new trend</h2>



<p>In <em>Nobody </em>(2021), Bob Odenkirk is a former &#8216;auditor&#8217; who worked on behalf of intelligence agencies as &#8220;the last guy any organisation wants to see at their door&#8221;. The flavour is different (his home life is in a rut) and the motivation to return even more of a leap (he &#8211; honestly &#8211; has to get his daughter&#8217;s kitty-cat bracelet back from burglars), but the itch is the same: he&#8217;s someone who, when triggered, is extremely good at what he does.</p>



<p>We all desire an indisputable point that settles a conundrum. As day-to-day life increasingly contains news and situations where an expressed opinion may ignite indignant pressure bombs, then a connection can be drawn to the growing appeal of a character who, when pushed, delivers deft and indefensible righteousness.</p>



<p>A negative conclusion to draw from this would be that audiences have lost the ability to debate through nuanced arguments. Perhaps, but tellingly, the leads of these films are frequently retired or otherwise reluctant. This speaks to a desire to live our lives in peace from the unending stress of everything as a constant morality battleground.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s possible that Hollywood has cottoned on to this theme, yet missed the point. 2022&#8217;s <em>The Gray Man </em>fits the mould. Although not pulled out of retirement <em>per se</em>, CIA Sierra operative &#8216;Six&#8217; (Ryan Gosling) spends the film reluctantly advancing the plot by being extremely capable at, well, everything. He escapes a locked trapdoor pit without much bother, shrugs off most injuries, and takes out a slew of heavily armed baddies using little more than his magical abilities and excellent tram boarding and alighting skills. Yet, he maintains such a stony-faced expression they may as well have replaced him with the cardboard cutout they didn&#8217;t use to promote the thing in cinemas (it debuted on Netflix).</p>



<p>Typically, as Hollywood bigwigs flounder in their efforts to cater to a perceived audience desire, better films break through from other areas. The joyous <em>RRR </em>(2022), which hails from India&#8217;s &#8216;Tollywood&#8217; region (filmed in the Teluga language), also slots nicely into ultra-competent escapism.</p>



<p>Despite the fact that the protagonists of <em>RRR </em>were real people, it would be hard to argue that realism is the draw in a film whose main set piece is a jungle-animal-fuelled heist. <em>RRR </em>garnered its babbling word of mouth due to its central leads gloriously outclassing their opposition. Twitter may spin your head 360°, but <em>RRR </em>keeps it glued forward as larger than life characters breeze past seemingly impossible hardships with twinkles in their eyes. Modern audiences don&#8217;t need the corny one-liners and we can get enough espionage and disaster by turning on the horror show that is the news or looking out of the window.</p>



<p>When your boss is on at you, the opinion pieces are rebutting the latest rebuttal, and social media is full of people seeking to own their opponent so hard that they demand a receipt, let us turn to films to enjoy the vicarious thrill of someone unquestionably doing a Very Good Job indeed.</p>
