ACTION RESEARCH
Some main genre conventions for action are: Intense settings, Duelling Hierarchies, The hero, The villain, The victim, A speech in praise of the villain, The deadline and Set-piece sequences.
Three famous directors for directing blockbuster action movies are Steven Spielburg, James Cameron and George Miller.
Lots of movies stars have become associated with action films, such as: Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Nicolas Cage, Liam Neeson, Jason Statham etc.

I think teenagers watching action movies would more prefer super-hero films more than other types of sub-genres.
The top five ingredients to an action movie in my opinion would be: A Strong Hero, Revenge Plot, Training Montage, Chases and Fight Scenes and a Final Showdown.
The action movie "No Sudden Move" was created in 2021 and involves the social issue of gangs and crime, its about a group of criminals that are brought together under mysterious circumstances and have to work together to uncover whats really going on when their simple job goes completely sideways. Gang and crime are serious social issues in the real world which gives this film the aspect of reality.
