Action directors like Tony Scott and John McTiernan are rarely included in the pantheon of great filmmakers, but action filmmaking is a whole separate skillset, and it’s a lot harder than it seems. It might just look like a lot of noise, but there’s a kind of poetry to the sequencing of the shots, the imagination of the set-pieces, and the succinctness of the visual storytelling that not a lot of directors can pull off. You can’t take a great action filmmaker like John Woo or Michael Mann or George Miller for granted.
