Crime
Crime
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Part road trip movie, part heist movie, all pretty underwhelming.
Gunpowder Milkshake
Not just disappointingly derivative and unnecessarily gory, but also poorly written and haphazardly executed.
Hard Boiled
Style over substance, but a treat for any aficionado of gunfights in action films.
The Protege
This slick, high quality action thriller offers superb fight scenes and solid character work, but occasionally feels a bit too much like a John Wick clone.
The Cat’s Meow
A dull and disappointing stab at telling a salacious “true” story from Hollywood’s early years.
12 Angry Men
One of the best legal dramas, ever.
Traffic
This film pairs complex narrative structure with stylistically pronounced visuals to create one of the best movies about the drug war out there.
Taking of the Pelham One Two Three
A decent crime thriller that isn’t likely to blow any modern viewer away but is still a reasonably compelling few hours of entertainment
Double Jeopardy
The thrills are fun if you ignore the weak internal logic.
Bonnie and Clyde
An uneven movie whose lack of polish in storytelling and cinematography is likely a result of originating much of the modern narrative and cinematic techniques it employs.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
This challenging contemplation on vengeance and redemption is worth the watch if you can stomach its bleaker than bleak tone.
The Replacement Killers
Schlock. But fun schlock.
