Action cinema has very little in common with its 90s predecessors. Though most modern entries are reboots, remakes, and legacy sequels, there's a distinct energy to that bygone era. Great stars like Bruce Willis and terrible ones like Steven Seagal became household names, selling the movie on their personal brand more than any intrinsic quality. Even the silly action star vehicle could occasionally capture something special, as in the case of 1994's Timecop.
