2017
Horror, Thriller

Though Kevin has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him — as well as everyone around him — as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.

McAvoy was outstanding in “Filth”, but here, having Shyamalan’s script, he is in a league of the best performances ever. Shyamalan was in a good form too when making this…

1930s Korea, in the period of Japanese occupation, a young woman is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering uncle. But, the maid has a secret: she is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a Japanese count to help him seduce the heiress to elope with him, rob her of her fortune, and lock her up in a madhouse. […]

A strong movie from one of my favorite directors. As of this post, it’s the latest movie of Park Chan-wook, but I’d say it’s a good introduction if you’re new…

Thriller, Science Fiction, Drama, Horror

After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.

A rare example on how to be unique without being pretentious. Having been filmed in a claustrophobic environment, this movie doesn’t have some kind or forced drama, nor it is…

Thriller, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction

In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.

You might even want to turn this off and watch some action. It starts weird, pretentious and slow. Just like Swiss Army Man, which is another level of pretentiousness, which…

Mystery, Thriller, Drama

With his wife’s disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.

Nothing you haven’t seen before, but it’s really well done. I didn’t know Rosamund Pike and how good she is until this movie.

2011
Thriller, Drama, Horror

Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.

The first movie with Michael Shannon that I saw and think it’s the best performance of his. Also, this is a perfect example on how to make a movie in…

Action, Comedy, Thriller, Crime

Two policemen must join forces to take on an international drug- smuggling gang – one, an unorthodox Irish policeman and the other, a straitlaced FBI agent. Sergeant Gerry Boyle is an eccentric small-town cop with a confrontational and crass personality and a subversive sense of humor. A longtime policeman in County Galway, Boyle is a maverick with his own moral code. He has seen enough of the world to know there isn’t much to it […]

There isn’t much going on here, so why did I like it, huh. Well, it’s an exact opposite of Hollywood’s cop comedies. Technically, it is a comedy, but the feeling…

2009
Thriller, Mystery, Romance

Convinced that his fiancee is cheating on him, a man follows her to a hotel and calls his best friend to help him avoid a calamity.

Stylish and seductive thriller set in an intimate atmosphere. I like everything about it. The lighting, the colors, the acting. It manages to look surreal without sacrificing the entertainment, and…

2011
Thriller, Mystery, Science Fiction

A paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret “smart drug” that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film.

One of the best mainstream movies of 2011. A real thriller surrounded by slow and boring action dramas. The story is very intriguing, I was bound to the screen in…

A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA “consultant”, known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems […]

Sharp, intense and terrifying psychological thriller. The political theme could be felt, but there are a lot of food for thought. The performances are extremely realistic and it’s a very…
