Action! Action!

A phenomenally fun throw back to classic action movies. Done with style and humor and yep...you guessed it. Loads of action. Director, Writer, Producer, and Actor Adam Kilborn uses his hometown of Las Vegas Nevada as the backdrop for this fun indie film that feels like a big budget studio picture. Using the city as a backdrop about a heist gone sideways...this picture (almost wanted to say flick there because it's just a wonderful escape) has everything you are looking for. Superbly acted. Wonderfully directed. And...yeah I'll say it just entertaining as hell. It's getting some play in select markets but if it comes to your city you would do yourself a disservice not to check this out on the big screen. It's a romp. It's exciting. It's just straight out fun.

Action! Action! (2025) is the kind of film that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. What begins as a stylish heist to steal Al Capone's last known painting from the Mob Museum in Las Vegas quickly explodes into a whirlwind of betrayal, loss, and mystery-with a generous dose of heart and humor along the way.

The blend of action and comedy is masterfully done. Just when you think you know where it's going, the story pulls the rug out from under you in the most entertaining way. Explosions, double-crosses, and one-liners fly fast, but it never loses its soul-or its sense of fun.

One standout element is the incredible foley work. Every punch, crash, and quiet moment is brought to life with detailed, creative sound design that elevates the whole experience. It's rare to see this level of craft in an indie film, and it makes every scene pop.

The performances are sharp, the pacing tight, and the direction confidently walks the line between chaos and clarity. It's a film made with clear vision and fearless energy. Even in its wildest moments (and there are plenty), it stays grounded in characters you can root for.

If you're into heist films with unexpected turns, clever dialogue, and a whole lot of style, Action! Action! Is one you don't want to miss. A total blast from start to finish!

Attending the Los Angeles premiere of Action! Action! Was an absolute blast from start to finish. What truly sets this film apart is its effortlessly worn sense of humor, a refreshing and consistently engaging delight.

The on-screen chemistry among the cast is palpable, making every interaction crackle. Marcus Weiss, in particular, delivers several scene-stealing moments that showcase his brilliance. Equally impressive is the talent behind the camera. The cinematography helmed by Jeremy Le is striking, and the exceptional use of practical effects by Andrew Comrie-Picard stands out as some of the finest craftsmanship I've witnessed in recent indie filmmaking.

Directors Danny Shepherd and Adam Kilbourn have truly outdone themselves. Their visionary direction is evident in how they breathtakingly utilized the vibrant spectacle of Las Vegas, weaving iconic locations into the narrative and staging a truly thrilling full-scale action sequences. They've undeniably assembled an all-star squad for this fantastic feature.

I want to see it again! I wasn't sure what to expect but I do know that I cannot believe this is an independent film. Super professional and great acting! There are also some spectacular explosions. And the fact that they actually got to have streets shut down in Las Vegas for some of the action scenes is truly amazing. The plot is great and there are some very subtle funny moments. Not a dull second! Some of the characters are just fun to watch and there are very unexpected moments. We had the opportunity to visit with the producer/actor and another of the actors after the showing and it was fun to hesr about their experience. This is a must see if you love some action and humor.

I had so much fun with this film!!!

Now I may not have professional experience nor traditional education in filmmaking, and I did go into this film knowing it was an independent production, but I was personally blown away by the quality brought by the team despite it being an indie film!!

Action/Heist, the fight choreography is so good, works with the cinematography at times to elevate tension, and the Heist story is very well crafted and also still knows how to have fun, some really funny moments in this!! (Oh Wow, I only just saw on IMDb that Lance Brazil worked on this, he's awesome!! He did a great job!)

Everybody gave a really great performance which complimented the film quite a bit! Adam, Marcus, Shana, what a fantastic trio of main actors, love the way they play off of each other! Aaron and Lundon too, omg!

Adam gave the protagonist such a charismatic and fun personality, but also really brought it whenever an intense moment hit. And Marcus is so much fun to watch, the back and forth between the two, the energy he brought to the role, even when his character is goofing around, you can't help but enjoy watching his performance! I wanted to mention too, Mari was so badass, really want to see more of her!

Jeremy, Cinematography, above and beyond, for an indie action/heist film i didn't expect certain shots and sequences in the film which were dripping with style and also technique, we've got subtle dolly zooms, timelapses of Las Vegas, and some gorgeous close-ups at times which play with focus and add beauty to so many moments throughout!

John Scigulinsky, composer, I'm a fan of his previous work, similar to others who worked on this film, and I feel that he really knocked it out of the park once again!! With a score befitting a full-length feature film, so much of it simply adds so much to the scene, whether it be tension, high-octane action to a chase-sequence, or the set-up for mysterious antagonist, Mr. X. Meanwhile there are a few select moments that pop so much due to paying wonderful and stylish homage to the iconic themes of James Bond with a few reminiscent moments.

The film has a story that feels bigger than what you'd expect from an indie film, and yet grounds it's story in more personal danger and risk than many blockbusters out there nowadays which rely on a world-ending dilemma to build tension. For me, this was lovely to experience, and I applaud Adam Kilbourn, Danny Shepherd, and all the rest, for their work to create this awesome film! I hope they all keep going, keep creating, and keep being awesome!
