(24,412 posts)"4.3.2.1" It's sort of like a Pulp-Fiction-style action story about 4 girls in England that inadvertently wind up in the middle of a diamond heist. I can't remember all of the actresses but one of them was Emma Roberts (Nickelodeon's "Unfabulous" and niece of Julia Roberts BTW) and it was directed and stars Noel Clarke, who plays "Mickey" in the new Doctor Who series. It was an exciting and fun movie!
"Cat Run" was also another similar type of movie about a couple of guys starting a detective business who get involved in a murder case with an escort and become targets of spies and assassins. It's not very well known and doesn't have any well-known actors/actresses but it's still a pretty good movie.
"The Avengers" and/or any of the related movies (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America) are good well-written action-packed movies as well.
"This Means War" with Chris Pine and Thomas Hardy about two spies competing against each other for the affections of Reese Witherspoon. Action-packed and funny bordering on hilarious at times!
"Tower Heist" an ensemble comedy with Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Alan Alda. Amusing and entertaining.
