    Mindhunters (2004)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the mind of a killer and discuss Mindhunters, which came out in the US 20 years ago this week (after being released in almost every other country around the world in 2004). Directed by Renny Harlin, Mindhunters follows a group of FBI agents training to be profilers under the unorthodox methods of Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), who places his trainees in elaborate simulations.  As a final test, the group is left on a remote island off the coast of North Carolina to uncover the simulated crime scenes of "The Puppeteer." Instead, they find themselves up against a real killer, who begins taking the team out one by one via elaborate traps.  Zach and Chris discuss who is bringing all the cats onto this remote military island, LL Cool J's over-the-top red herring, Christian Slater getting Sub-Zeroed by liquid nitrogen, the hilariously dumb underwater shootout, and more. You can rent or buy Mindhunters on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Apple, and more.  Next week, our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to watch Mission: Impossible 2, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary along with the release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theaters.

    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris are in Boston for PAX East and discuss 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to get into the video game mindset. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Prince Dastan, who leads an assault against the holy city of Alamut for the Persian Empire and discovers a mysterious dagger.  When accused of killing his father, King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup), he flees with Alamut's princess, Tamina (Gemma Arterton). He learns the dagger allows the wielder to travel 1 minute back in time.  Realizing this was the reason behind the invasion, Dastan reluctantly teams up with Tamina to protect the dagger and keep the Sands of Time from being unleashed.  Zach and Chris talk about where the Prince of Persia game series was at the time, how the movie is a critique/metaphor for the Iraq War, Dastan immediately abandoning his childhood friend to become a prince, the parkour action, and more. You can watch Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on Disney+. Next week, we'll get into the mind of a killer and discuss Renny Harlin's ridiculous 2005 thriller Mindhunters, which turns 20.

    Code of Silence (1985)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to Chicago for the Chuck Norris classic Code of Silence, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Norris plays Eddie Cusack, the head of a squad of Chicago cops who finds himself in a gang war when a drug bust goes bad and crime boss Luis Camacho (Henry Silva) wants revenge on the mob.  Cusack also finds himself shunned by his fellow cops when he refuses to back corrupt cop Cragie (Ralph Foody), who kills an unarmed bystander during the drug bust and tries to cover it up.  Zach and Chris discuss how this feels like Chuck's version of Bullitt or The French Connection, how weird it is to hear Ralph Foody speak non-Home Alone dialogue, Dennis Farina's comedic relief, and, oh yeah, the KILLER ROBOT that Chuck uses in the explosive finale. You can watch Code of Silence on Prime Video and PlutoTV. Next week, we're getting into the gaming state of mind as we head to PAX East by watching Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which turns 15 later this month.

    Kick-Ass (2010)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris don homemade superhero suits to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Kick-Ass. Directed by Matthew Vaughn and based on the comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., Kick-Ass stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as high school nerd Dave Lizewski, who decides to take his love of comic books into the real world and become a superhero named Kick-Ass.  Unfortunately for Dave, he stumbles into a war between mobster Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) and the father/daughter vigilante duo Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and finds himself in way over his head.  Zach and Chris discuss Nicolas Cage's wonderfully weird acting choices, the breakout performance of Chloe Grace Moretz, all the red flags surrounding Dave's love interest Katie (Lyndsy Fonseca), some of the differences between the comic and the movie, and more. You can watch Kick-Ass on Plex or rent/buy it from services like Prime Video and Fandango at Home.  Next week, with Gareth Evans' new movie Havoc hitting Netflix, we're discussing his action masterpiece The Raid.
