IMDb Rating: 6.9/10 Some fans might not realize that Johnson is indeed a member of the Star Wars family, having written and directed Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. The second movie in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the film continues the story with Rey, Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, and Finn. It’s the episode that includes the epic battle scene between Rey and Kylo Ren.

But when one of them actually winds up dead, the real sleuthing begins.

Executive Producer
IMDb Rating: 7.3/10 Johnson’s latest project also ranks among his best based on early reviews. Johnson didn’t write this erotic thriller nor direct, but he does serve as an executive producer. Written and directed by Chloe Domont, Fair Playis about a young couple that finds their love tested when one of them is unexpectedly promoted to work at a cut-throat hedge fund firm. Starring Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynavor and Alden Ehrenreich in one of his best roles, Fair Playwas acquired for distributio...

IMDb Rating: 7.4/10 Another project that sees Johnson collaborate with Gordon-Levitt, the actor stars in Looperas a 25-year-old assassin, known as loopers, working for a crime syndicate. Set in the future, in the years 2044 and 2074, the loopers are sent back in time to murder enemies before the invention of trackers that make it impossible to dispose of a body without getting caught. What makes the movie truly mind-bending, and demonstrates Johnson’s capabilities at delivering complex storyl...

IMDb Rating: 7.9/10 The first movie in the Knives Outfranchise which now includes two films, the 2019 whodunit introduces fans to the character of Benoit Blanc, a master detective. He’s on the case of the murder of the family patriarch, running his investigation by interrogating the family members to determine who did the deed.

IMDb Rating: 8.0/10 Already renewed for a second season, Johnson is behind every facet of Poker Face, which stars Natasha Lyonneas Charlie, a young woman with an incredible gift: she can instinctively tell when someone is lying. It’s a gift and a curse, however, as the talent lands Charlie in trouble and on the run where she ends up solving crimes. Inspired by Columbo, the inverted mystery whodunit series continues the familiar murder mystery theme in Johnson’s writing, but with an interestin...
Director
IMDb Rating: 8.4/10 Johnson directed the fifth episode of the first season of Terriers, titled “Manifest Destiny.” Terriers is a crime comedy-drama noir series about Hank, an ex-police officer and recovering alcoholic who runs a private investigation business alongside his best friend Britt, who also happens to be a former criminal. The show, which many believe deserves a comeback after just one season, was praised for breathing new life into the tired detective show genre, a genre that Johns...
Director
IMDb Rating: 9.5/10 One of the most surprising credits on Johnson’s resume, and one that many fans likely didn’t realize he possessed, is directing three different episodes of Breaking Bad. He directed season 3, episode 10 “Fly,” and two episodes from season 5: episode 4 “Fifty-One” and episode 14 “Ozymandias.” Interestingly, “Fly” is often ranked as one of the worst, if not the worst, episodes of the show. The slow-paced, strange episode centered around Walt and Jesse trying to capture and k...

- Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) I know this will be a controversial choice for some, because people are still mad on the internet about the supposed sins of The Last Jedi, five years after its release.
- Knives Out (2019) After years of working in crime cinema, and indeed launching his career with it, Johnson took on the cozy whodunit with Knives Out, and reminded us what a special filmmaker he is.
- Looper (2012) In 2012, Johnson married his love of crime cinema with his love of science fiction and gave us the time travel gem Looper, the story of a hitman (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who must confront his own future self (Bruce Willis) and in the process try and stop his entire world from crumbling around him.
- Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) After cutting his teeth on his first two features, something shifted in Johnson's output, and since then every film he's made has been great in its own way.
