Q&A: Best written action movie: Plot, character, etc.?

Question by Jyyzzoel: Best written action movie: Plot, character, etc.?
A lot of the time when you ask what the best action movie is people will make their decision based solely on the action sequences.

My question is, although the action sequences play a part, what is the best written action movie, excluding the special effects, etc? Take into consideration character development and overall plot, which tells the most suspenseful story the best, etc.

The “Bourne” movies are pretty good, more than just action. “Face/Off” was a good one too.
