10. Solstice 6.7
Intense movie "Solstice»From director Ari Aster can scare an unprepared viewer with an abundance of bloody scenes. In the story, a married couple accepts an invitation to stay with their friends in a small village in Sweden. But upon arrival, they fall into a certain sect, the members of which conduct terrifying rites.
There is a lot of psychologism in the tape - the main characters are experiencing a crisis in relations due to the recent family tragedy and general “tiredness” from each other. On the trip, they hope to “reset” their marriage, but fall into the epicenter of horror.
The director masterfully combines in the work sunlit landscapes and images of detailed sacrifices. At the same time, there is still room for a mystical component in the tape.
9. Beautiful, bad, evil 6.7
Zac Efron, who previously played only heroes-lovers, decided to diversify his role in the most decisive way and played the main role in the film "Beautiful, bad, evil". The tape paid attention to one of the most “high-profile” lawsuits in US history, which was even covered on TV - the case of serial killer Ted Bundy.

The best law student Ted takes care of the girl and helps her raise a small child. But in a neighboring town, mysterious murders of girls take place, and, according to some indications, the police go to Bundi and establish surveillance over him.
Critics praised the game Efron and his partner - Lily Collins - who were able to charm the audience with their ambiguous heroes.
8. I am going to look for 6.8
The film surprises with unexpected plot twists. The bride’s first wedding night suddenly turns into a competition for her life. And the whole thing is in the strange family of her husband and their eccentric games.
According to tradition, people from the outside must pass certain tests in order to enter the clan. Its meaning lies in deadly hide and seek: if the heroine is found by armed relatives, she will die. Only a husband sympathizes with the girl, dreaming of getting rid of the terrible ritual.
«I'm going to search»Quickly headed the box office, collecting a large box office. The creators positioned him as a thriller, equally possessing elements of horror and comedy. An unusual combination of genres and persistent advertising provided him with a high rating.
7. Chasing Bonnie and Clyde 6.9
The tape about the most romanticized criminals of the twentieth century was bound to become popular. Moreover, the director John Lee Hancock decided to show their story from the point of view of a couple hunting policemen. The result is a solid Western, generously sponsored by the Netflix platform.
The filmmakers invited the star cast to the lead roles - the cops are played by Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. The actors' rich dramatic experience allowed them to reveal the plot without an abundance of action and special effects, but only through logic and deduction.
It is curious that the criminal couple itself, for the most part of the film, is as if deliberately not shown to the viewer, allowing him to compose a portrait of the bandits according to their actions. The authenticity of the events described in the thriller is supported by real photographs.
The main disadvantages of the tape "Chasing Bonnie and Clyde”Can be attributed some prolongation of the meditative narrative and long timing - a full 2 hours.
6. Roll into the asphalt 7.0
Mel Gibson before this year has not played a movie, so "Roll up on the asphalt”Is worth a look at least for the sake of respect for the legendary hero of the militants of the 90s. The actor and his colleague play policemen who have been suspended from work because they have allowed themselves to be treated too hard with the detainees. Wanting to earn extra money, the former cops decide to apply their knowledge in criminal practice.
In the timing of 2 and a half hours, the director laid down a psychological drama, a procedural detective, and an intense thriller. Questions are raised only by scenes of violence, which are inscribed in the tape with special frankness.
5. Drug Courier 7.1
Another long-awaited acting return - the main role in "Drug courier"Performed by Clint Eastwood. From the title credits, the viewer is informed that the tape was shot on real events from the life of an 80-year-old former war veteran who, at an advanced age, becomes a courier for the cartel of Mexico.
The main thing in the film is not so much the tension of the thriller as the psychology and the personal drama of the hero and how difficult it is for him to integrate into today's reality. The 88-year-old Eastwood also co-directed and directed the project.
4. Factory 7.1
Russian film "Factory"From Yuri Bykov deservedly takes the line in the list of the highest grossing thrillers. After the film “The Fool”, Bykov received the glory of an honest and high-quality director, and his new creation only confirms this.
As usual, the plot has a powerful social connotation - the local oligarch decides to close his factory, where workers have been without pay for many months. Six of them decided to rectify the situation and take the director hostage, get a ransom and run away. But they will have to face armed ChOPovtsy.
The tape perfectly keeps pace during the whole story, and famous actors in the lead roles made the characters multifaceted and complex.
3. Work without authorship 7.6
The powerful psychological thriller of Italian-German production raises difficult topics. The main character has some mental problems that his aunt cultivates in him. From an early age, the boy gravitates to drawing, and in the paintings he reflects the questions that torment him.
Aunt gets on the operating table and dies. A matured hero meets a girl whom he marries. It turns out that her father is the very doctor because of whom the aunt once died.
Despite the fact that the film "Work without authorship”Was also created on real events, the prototype of the hero refused to agree to a biographical film, so the biopic turned out to be fictitious with a large share of author’s imagination.
2. Hotel Mumbai: Confrontation 7.7
The thriller shows the events of 2008, when terrorists carried out several bombings in Mumbai. In the center of the plot are ordinary people who, by chance, were not lucky to be at the epicenter of events. The actors ’play is so skillful that they simply won’t be able to touch the film - the script“ plays ”ruthlessly with the emotions of the audience.
The director was not afraid to show scenes with lots of blood - they did not turn the film “Mumbai Hotel: Confrontation"In a cruel action movie, but they added credibility to him.
1. Joker 8.3
«Joker"Is intended to become perhaps the most controversial film of this year. A high rating of the expectation of the tape ensured her a record box office - the audience stormed the cinemas, wanting to evaluate how Joaquin Phoenix dealt with the role of the villain. Before that, the film had already been shown to critics at the film festival, where he gathered a flurry of applause.
The hero of the Phoenix - Arthur Fleck - mirrors the "abnormality" of the society around him. Thriller raises deep psychological problems, sometimes turning into an acute social drama.
