An intimate and brilliantly acted crime film, The Good Nurse stars Oscar winners Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain in the chilling true story of Charlie Cullen, a serial killer who murdered patients while working as a nurse. The Good Nurse premiered in fall 2022 to positive critical notices.
Nothing super or heroic happens in Joker, and yet it’s one of the most influential movies of the genre’s history. Sure, 2019 gave us the highest-grossing movie ever (Avengers: Endgame), but nothing struck a nerve in the zeitgeist quite like Todd Phillips‘ insanely profitable, divisive DC origin story (the top-earning R-rated movie in history). Joke...
The formidable talents of Christian Bale, Gillian Anderson, Harry Melling and Toby Jones star in Scott Cooper's atmospheric adaptation of the 2003 novel about a 19th-century private eye investigating murders at a military academy—where Edgar Allan Poe happens to be a cadet. The Pale Blue Eye premiered on Netflix over holiday season 2022 to high vie...
Martin Scorsese‘s long-gestating crime epic, centered on Jimmy Hoffa, is an extraordinary achievement in rich, slow-burn character development. It’s on Netflix, but the best way to see it is in one sitting, on the biggest screen possible. Front-and-center are titanic turns by Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and (out of retirement) Joe Pesci. Also front-a...
Sandra Bullock's latest makes the Bird Box star one of only two actors to have two films in Netflix's all-time top-10 movies (matched by Ryan Reynolds of Red Notice and 6 Underground). In mega-hit The Unforgivable, Bullock plays a woman trying to re-enter society after serving time for a violent crime.
In 2018, the sleeper hit Searching took the world by storm as an inventive thriller about a father looking for his missing daughter that took place entirely on a laptop screen. What could have been gimmicky was used to suspenseful perfection, and in the wake of its success, an anthology-style sequel was greenlit. Missing is a similar screen-life th...
Rian Johnson's follow-up to box-office leviathan Knives Out can't quite match the airtight thriller storytelling that was one of that masterpiece's most striking attributes, but it's arguably even more entertaining. An ensemble cast headlined by a returning Daniel Craig are uniformly excellent, though Janelle Monáe is really the star here, and she ...
So abundant we might as well make them their own genre, movies about kidnapped females generally go one of two ways: It’s either all about the suspense, figuring out how and if she will get out—or there’s the nastier route, when some moviesfocus on a woman’s torture and humiliation, turning it into spectacle. Though Australian director Cate Shortla...
One of the greatest television shows in history recently got a worthy coda, when three-time Emmy winner Aaron Paul returned as interminably suffering drug kingpin Jesse Pinkman in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The highly anticipated follow-up to Vince Gilligan‘s crime saga Breaking Badis a Netflix original. There's undeniably fan service at play...
