@OnePerfectHEADShot Reviews 2024’s Year In Action Cinema

At times like this, I’m joyfully reminded that there are times throughout the year I get to partake in little side projects. In the case of the video below and its creator, however, I will say that it definitely isn’t so little. It’s about ninety-minutes long and comes courtesy of Kinemotions on YouTube. Folks who follow the channel also likely follow its host on social media through pseudonym, “Head Exposure,” or OnePerfectHEADShot as some of us know him, which is also how I came to be a part of the video essay below among colleagues for “The Action Year In Review – 2024,” which you can now view below.

This video is a fully-loaded piece of work with rightfully credited titles galvanizing the year’s best and most memorable films of the genre. Filmmakers Liam O’Donnell and Jordan Santacana, critics and influencers like Outlaw Vern, Mike Fury, Shogun Supreme, Polygon’s Pete Volk, and even our own Matthew Essary are among the lot weighing in along with a few others. If you’re not doing anything else and have some time to spare apart from watching “Squid Game: Season 2,” grab a snack and give the video below a go. If you’re curious to see where I jump in, you’ll find me well after the 39:37 mark.

Enjoy, and follow @OnePerfectHEADShot on Blue Sky!
