Article: Top 5 Feminist Action Films

5.Charlie’s Angels

When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, Charlie’s Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all. Some people will like this and some don’t, the good thing about this film it didn’t take itself too seriously, it also got an all star cast and they all convince in their roles, overall, this is entertaining and watchable.

4.The Mother

While fleeing from dangerous assailants, an assassin comes out of hiding to the daughter she left earlier in life. Despite the brutal element from this film it still heartfelt, the story is there and you will care about with these characters. It never feels forced or too sentimental as this will move you, this is memorable and the pacing is perfect, it silently draws you in from start to finish.

3.The 355

When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, a wild – card C.I.A. agent join forces with three international agents on a mission to retrieve it, while staying a step ahead of a mysterious woman who’s tracking their every move. Entertaining and exciting film that it like a thrill ride, it never gets too overcomplicated with the flashback element. This is clever and it will made you think as well, if you wanted an action film that will made you think, this is ideal for you.

2.Raya And The Last Dragon

In a realm known as Kumandra, a re – imagined Earth inhabited by an ancient civilization, a warrior named Raya is determined to find the last dragon. The animation itself is gorgeous to look at as this is eye catching, the vocal in this film is spot on and brim with comic one liner, it also deals with the diversity aspect and that is important, this is suitable for all ages as this is superb.

1.Mulan

To keep her ailing father from serving in the Imperial Army, a fearless young woman disguises herself as a man and battles northern invaders in China. Another film which deals with the diversity aspect and that is important, I believe the message to this film is believe in yourself and people will connect with that, it is action packed but it never loses the story itself. It got amazing set pieces as this entertaining, it is funny and heartfelt as this is a family viewing.

  1. A great list of feminist action films. I definitely agree with all of your picks. I would also add the movie “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”. Released this summer, the Mad Max prequel featured a strong feminist character. Furiosa is a woman with a strong character whom viewers can easily root for. She’s a feminist hero for sure. One of my favourite movies of the summer.

    Here’s why I loved it:
