In the genre of action, Mostow declared himself in 1997, shooting the film “Crash”. The main role was played by Kurt Russell, whose hero lost his wife, who disappeared in the desert. The thriller film was well received by both viewers and film critics. After that, Mostow signed a four-year contract with Universal, which pushed the director to become even more active.
In 2000, Mostow and Michael Douglas worked together on the film about the Second World War “U-571”. Douglas in the process of work did not withstand an active working schedule and left the director. However, Mostow did not give up and made a film that was favorably received by the public and received success at the box office.

"Surrogates" (2009) and "Namor" (2010). The film “Surrogates” is one of his masterpieces, where it was necessary not only to choose the right actors, but also to create their electronic copies.
