For the first time since 2019, this summer will see major film releases almost every weekend. Due to this influx of highly anticipated blockbusters, the season is poised to fully return to the norms of pre-pandemic moviegoing. There’ll be plenty of superheroes, boogeymen and death-defying stunts for audiences to flock to, but there’ll also be a decent number of independent films that deserve attention from viewers. 

With highly anticipated sequels such as “John Wick: Chapter 4,” “Fast X” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” coming out this year, moviegoers will have no shortage of high-octane entertainment. However, action junkies might still be looking for their next adrenaline-pumping fix after returning from these films. Luckily, there is no shortage of action at home, with countless films from many respectable directors available to watch.
