Top three action directors

When it comes to action, there are only a few directors who really go above and beyond to bring us the most immense action epics possible. The action genre is so broad that sometimes it takes a brilliant director to help you find your way through the plethora of movies. Here is a rundown of our favourite three action directors.

Ridley Scott

Ridley Scott is a director with the power to move his audience to extreme emotions – even when making television commercials. The action genre is somewhere that Ridley Scott really shines. If you doubt that, then take a look at Gladiator. The opening sequence and the Coliseum fighting are just two moments that instantly spring to mind when thinking about how well Ridley Scott directs action.

John Woo

Face/Off, Broke Arrow and Red Cliff are just a small example of the action movies that John Woo has directed. The Chinese born director’s name is synonymous with action and if his name is on a movie, then you know that you’re in for an action rollercoaster that very few directors can consistently provide.

Steven Spielberg

One of the all-time great directors across multiple genres, when it comes to action he really excels himself. Whether you are a fan of Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park or Saving Private Ryan it doesn’t matter what action you want on the screen, Spielberg is a man that certainly can.
