Haven't seen it.
Alien
There wasn't even that much action in Alien. It was far more of a suspenseful thriller than anything else.
or Equilibrium aren't great films?
Been a while, but again Equilibrium actually had interesting fight choreography and a sense of style, plus interesting story from what I remember. Out of what I have seen, this is the closest to being an action film out of all that you brought up, but I'd have to see it again before I could call it a pure action film.
Empire Strikes Back? Or is there some reason you have determined that suggests these aren't action films?
Are you kidding me? ESB is in no way an action film. ESB tells a very heartfelt and meaningful story full of drama and twists and turns. It is in no way an action film.
