It only took one shot from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” for editor Darren Foley to realize something crucial: Joe and Anthony Russo know how to do action. Unlike a number of their contemporaries, the TV directors-turned-blockbuster-filmmakers know how to create effective and dazzling setpieces, and that’s exactly what they did with both their 2014 Marvel release and this year’s action-heavy “Captain America: Civil War.” But how do they deliver on this feeling, especially where other filmmakers don’t?
