7 Action Movies Both You and Your Partner Will Love

The A-Team • Red 2 • Parker • More ...

If your partner is like mine, finding movies you both actually want to watch can be a challenge. In our home, we usually cycle between chick flicks, kids' movies, and action-packed thrillers. While I’ll always have a soft spot for rom-coms, I’ve learned to appreciate the action movies my husband loves. In fact, I’ve discovered quite a few that I really enjoy, too.

1. The A-Team

The A-Team is a blast if you’re looking for high-octane fun. With a cast including Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, and Liam Neeson, this group of former soldiers returns from Iraq to find themselves framed for crimes they didn't commit. It’s packed with the kind of adventure that keeps my husband glued to the screen, while the bit of romance kept me happy, too. Check out more top-rated action movies here.

2. Red 2

This one really has it all: action, romance, and plenty of humor. Bruce Willis stars as Frank Moses, a retired CIA agent who just wants to live a quiet life. Fate has other plans, pulling him back into a chaotic international mission. Watching him fight to protect his partner—who turns out to be much tougher than he realized—is a highlight.

3. Parker

If you're a fan of high-stakes heists, Parker is a solid pick. Jason Statham plays a thief with a unique code of conduct who is double-crossed by his crew. Partnering with a savvy real estate agent played by Jennifer Lopez, he plots his revenge. It's a classic revenge thriller with great chemistry between the leads.
