13461209, The Rock doesn't have a single action classic...

... in which he's the leading man. Not even close, really.

He's got one or two in which he's part of an ensemble, and he's got one or two where he's the league that they're passably enjoyable catch-it-on-TNT movies.

But no one's out there touting Red Notice or Skyscraper or Jungle Cruise as being on par with even the lower-tier Cruise output.

Besides, The Rock clearly has no interest in being the best action movie star ever-- he's far more interested in being a brand. He's cranking out one or two mid-to-awful movies a year while hosting game shows, narrating sitcoms, selling products online, and making inspirational social media videos.

The Rock might not even make the Top 25 action movie stars list.
