For that genre the approximation is 90 - 110..

And action screenplay can have pages and pages of action and maybe only one line of dialogue per page, sometimes none.

Check out Bill Martell's web site

Bill has some Action Screenplays you can download in ASCII text and Adobe Acrobat PDF format which you can study.. Some have been produced some are specs.

If you're interested here Bill's credits on IMDB

You'll also find Bill publishes books on writing Action Screenplays but he also publishes other books on most aspects of screenwriting too. His web site is full of tips and well worth reading..

Remember, the 90 - 110 is only an approximation it all depends on your story. A lot of action movies do come in around 90 mins or so and that's 1 page of screenplay to 1 min of screen time, approximately..
