3. V for Vendetta ( 2006)

2. The Losers (2010)

Based on Andy Diggle and Jock’s graphic novel, The Losers follows a team of questionable not-even heroes on their quest against a powerful figure who screwed them over. Without focusing too much on the gritty and morally ambiguous nature of the original comic book’s world, the live-action version of The Losers provides the perfect mixture of action and humor to enjoy.

1. RED (2010)

Based on the comic book series by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED follows a group of retired spies who have to get back into action for one last gig. Featuring old-school action veterans as former agents was the brilliant move that blurred the line between the film and reality for its viewers, and the blend of comedy and over-the-top action sequences made it better yet.
