Counterpoint is action movies where the conflict with the villain is not the primary conflict. e.g. True Lies; sure there's some terrorist stealing nuclear bombs, but that's not what the audience cares about.
True Lies is about a NSA agent using agency powers to spy on his wife, who's not even cheating on him (he just think she is). The bomb plot is just an excuse for the horse chase, and that horrible fighter jet at the end.
