Most Recent Film: The Expendables 2 (2012)
Still Got It? His brief appearance in The Expendables 2 was one of the film's highlights. Indeed, it was a shame he wasn't featured for longer…
Tom Cruise
The Action Hero: Given his bizarre public appearances and the increasingly outlandish stories about his private life, gunning down on-screen bag guys is actually when Cruise seems most normal…

Most Recent Film: Jack Reacher (2013)
Still Got It? Jack Reacher might not have been terribly well-received, but with Oblivion and All You Need Is Kill on the horizon, the action flicks are set to keep on coming.
Wesley Snipes

Current Age: 50
Most Recent Film: Gallowwalkers (2012)
Still Got It? He's been out of the spotlight for a little while, although his name has been bandied about in relation to Expendables 3 . It could be just the tonic his career needs.
Laurence Fishburne
The Action Hero: The inscrutable Morpheus of the Matrix movies, who still turns out for the odd action movie, as demonstrated by his scenery-chewing turn in Predators .
Current Age: 51
Most Recent Film: Contagion (2011)
Still Got It? Predators was only a few years back and he was tougher than ever in that one.

Antonio Banderas

Current Age: 52
Most Recent Film: Ruby Sparks (2012)
Still Got It? His most recent successes have been voicing Dreamworks' Puss in Boots, who is every inch as much of a badass as El Mariachi!
Ving Rhames
The Action Hero: A dependably gruff presence, whether playing mountainous gangsters or small-town sheriffs.
Current Age: 53
Most Recent Film: Death Race: Inferno (2012)
Still Got It? His turn Piranha 3DD with a pair of shotguns for legs should answer your question.
Sean Bean
The Action Hero: Bean is a very particular type of action star, in that he specialises in broadsword-swinging fantasy arse-kicking above all other types. Bloody good at it, he is too!
Current Age: 53
Most Recent Film: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2012)
Still Got It? Definitely. He'll be playing a few more battle-hardened warriors before he starts winding it down...
Bruce Campbell
The Action Hero: The chainsaw-swinging, ultra-groovy hero of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series. Seen more recently fighting bad guys in TV series, Burn Notice . Hail to the king, baby.

Still Got It? As My Name Is Bruce proved, Bruce might not be as streamlined as he once was, but he still knows how to send a daemon packing.
