Cinema has no rules, with everything from genre, plot structure, and visuals constantly experimented with both in mainstream and indie films in an attempt to craft new and exciting viewing experiences. This also applies to the pacing of a film, and while the majority of movies give fans a breather to contemplate what is going on, a select few instead opt to apply pressure from start to finish. These 10 films, from various genres, exemplify the best use of fast and consistent entertainment from start to finish.

A mute amnesiac enhanced with cybernetic parts awakens aboard an airship, being told that the person working on him is his partner. As she attempts to return to his functions of speech and memory, the ship is attacked, and Henry escapes via an escape pod without the woman he loves. Now, Henry wanders the streets of Moscow, pushed on by mysterious messages, to get his wife back from the man who stole her.

Shot entirely from a first-person perspective, Hardcore Henry plays out like a real-time, ultra-violent video game. The action flick also wastes little time establishing what it is, with a brief framing of the first few lines of dialogue straight into Henry's bloody quest for revenge. The movie may not be ideal for those with motion sickness, but it certainly delivers for those who love action movies that never let up on the action and are bone-crunchingly painful to watch.
