Who are the better action movie heroes today?

Shooter was surprisingly good, Four Brothers was great and totally under-appreciated, but Max Payne sucked really bad.

I don't think I see Mark Wahlberg as an action hero though. He was good in a few action movies, but when I see him onscreen I just don't get the "HELL YEAH" feeling that a true action star needs to get generate.

Thomas Jane is another guy I want to add to my original list. I love him so much, and if you haven't seen Mutant Chronicles, you really need to. It's a campy Sci-Fi/Zombie/Action/Shootemup/Steampunk movie that succeeds on all levels. John Malkovich and Ron Perlman are in it so you know it just has to be good.

Timothy Olyphant has been in some good action movies lately. I liked him in Hitman, and his role in Live Free or Die Hard. Other than him, I'd vote for Chow Yun-Fat and Jet Li.
