Ah, but how much is "a lot"? And what if it has a lot of sci-fi, too? Can a film be sci-fi and action, or does it need to be predominantly action? What if it just has a few action sequences, but they're the most impressive in the film? I expect there would be a lot of talk about what's "action" versus "adventure" and a distinction between "action" films and "thrillers," too.
These are the things people always end up arguing about.
So, no such thing as a modern Western?

I figured out you were just giving me a hard time. :P
Like Aliens, a movie can be muliple genres. There just needs to be enoughfocus to warrant it. "A few action sequences" is enough for me. Anyone can say what they want about genres, but the only foolish opinion in my eyes is saying a movie can only be one genre. What's the point of diversifying and breaking conventions if that's the case.
I guess a modern western would be a neo-western, like The Book of Eli, or just a modern-day movie with a very similar setting and influence from the classics.
