A good action film is always exciting, but the '[LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-diorama) Street Shootout' brings one more element: toys.

This video turns your [childhood playthings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set) into badass fighters. The animation and production is incredible, and their movements are believable -- well, as believable as a LEGO getting shot can be. The 'LEGO Street Shootout' will give you that little bit of adventure you need to get through the day, even if you are not the one dodging bullets.
