The best action films for alone on a rainy night are the ones still running in the background days later. Specifically from the 2010s - every pick here was chosen because it leaves something unresolved - deliberately. Watch one tonight. Give it time to settle.

The 2010s produced more quietly excellent films than the decade gets credit for. These are some of them. Find more curated film lists by genre and mood at Moviepiq.
