The Weinstein Company When it comes to discussing the single greatest scenes in the history of cinema, the conversation usually revolves around the same handful of classic candidates, as has been the case for decades. However, one of the finest moments ever committed to celluloid that doesn’t get talked about anywhere near often enough comes in 2015 action thriller No Escape. Co-writer and director John Erick Dowdle’s movie was a decent-sized hit at the box office after earning almost $55 million globally on a…

via Columbia Pictures After becoming an instant A-list superstar when Die Hard delivered an all-time great action movie, one that still hasn’t been beaten in the eyes of many fans, it was inevitable that Bruce Willis would return to the well more often than not. While his efforts outside of John McClane’s vest-wearing adventures produced a handful of greats, we also ended up with dreck like Striking Distance. In fairness, it was pretty much doomed long before it came to theaters in September 1993, which was…

via Miramax We’ve given up on trying to figure out what drives the demand streaming subscribers have for any given movie at any point in time, especially when largely forgotten titles like 1999 crime thriller In Too Deep come out of nowhere to snag a place on the Top 10 of a major platform. As per FlixPatrol, the polarizing street-level story has come out of nowhere to bring up the rear among Hulu’s 10 most-watched films, a turn of events we didn’t exactly see coming. After all, a Rotten Tomatoes score of 39…

via Sony Thanks to everyone’s fascination with the grisly act of murder (whether we’re talking completely fictional or true crime), serial killer thrillers can always be relied on to find favor with audiences on the big or small screens. That even extends to movies that were released almost 20 years ago, which is being proven as we speak by the overlooked gem Identity. As per FlixPatrol, Logan director James Mangold’s mystery noir has been roaring up the iTunes charts, having initially brought in a decent $90…

The Norwegian production company that made contemporary disaster films The Wave, from 2015 and, three years later, The Quake, is back with another commercial blend of visual effects, melodrama and mildly didactic but not-too-preachy eco-catastrophising. This time it’s a story about oil rigs going wrong in the North Sea and creating a massive spill – but more importantly, for the purposes of the drama, endangering the life of scientist-protagonist Sofia’s boyfriend Stian (Henrik Bjelland), and thus threatening to leave a…

Holy Spider is a serial killer procedural which takes the procedure further than usual, despite its deployment of some pretty familiar tropes. It goes beyond the denouement and the arrest, extending the murderer’s conceited theatre of cruelty to the police cell, the law courts and the media arena.This is a fictionalised true-crime drama-thriller based on Iranian construction worker Saeed Hanaei, nicknamed “Spider Killer” in the press, who in 2001 was arrested for the murder of 16 sex workers in the northeastern city of…

As everyone knows, reviews don’t mean a damn thing when it comes to Netflix subscribers deciding which movies or TV shows are worthy of their time, with forgotten 2020 thriller The Silencing becoming the latest widely-panned effort to gain newfound appreciation among at-home audiences. Per FlixPatrol, the cat-and-mouse tale that finds Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s former hunter partnered up with a local sheriff to try and track down a suspected killer who may have been responsible for the kidnapping of his daughter…

Tarik Saleh is the Swedish-Egyptian director who made The Nile Hilton Incident in 2017, a shrewd, dyspeptic movie about the official corruption in Egypt that triggered the Tahrir Square uprising. Now in an era when the Arab spring has arguably become a bittersweet memory, he has brought to the Cannes competition this watchable conspiracy espionage-drama satirising the corruption of church and state. There’s an intriguing mix of scorn and paranoia here, together with a yearning for individual figures of decency halfway…
