Last week, I recommended watching an exciting new thriller starring Robert De Niro and Adam Scott.The movie is now the No.1 movie on Netflix in the U.S.
for the past week, so hopefully you're getting in on the discussions, especially involving the polarizing ending.None of the three thrillers will knock off the top spot.However, these thrillers are definitely worth adding to your watchlist to stream this week.
My first two picks include a jungle heist and an epic crime drama.However, my top pick of the week involves Keanu Reeves doing whatever it takes to keep a bus above 50 mph.3 Triple Frontier An elaborate heist in the jungle Besides being a thriller,falls under two unofficial genres: "Guys Being Dudes" and "Big Dad Energy." In terms of "Guys Being Dudes," flexes its masculinity thanks to a five-man team of action stars—including Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal.
It's a bunch of soldiers executing a heist.It doesn't get more masculine than that.As for "Big Dad Energy," the fathers out there will appreciate these older stars shooting their guns and bonding over shared experiences.
Santiago "Pope" Garcia (Isaac) is working as a private military advisor when he receives a tip about a drug lord having a jungle safehouse with tens of millions of dollars in cash hidden inside.Pope recruits former military teammates Tom "Redfly" Davis (Affleck), William "Ironhead" Miller (Hunnam), Benjamin "Benny" Miller (Hedlund), and Francisco "Catfish" Morales (Pascal) to help steal the money.The crew successfully steals the money, but their problems have only just begun.
The weight of the money jeopardizes their trek to the rendezvous.Plus, the drug lord sends his goons after the former soldiers, and they have no intention of taking them hostage.is as gritty as it gets.
It's a classic case of a cocky group thinking they have what it takes to complete a mission and then watching it go completely haywire.The cast's chemistry makes it believable that they once served together in the military.I wish Netflix made more heist thrillers like .
I wouldn't even mind a sequel to this Netflix Original movie.Triple Frontier R Action Thriller Crime Adventure Release Date March 6, 2019 Where to watch Close WHERE TO WATCH Streaming Powered by Expand Collapse 2 Scarface Al Pacino portrays one of his iconic characters Even if you've never seen , I'd bet good money that you've heard of its most famous line.As Tony prepares to fire a rifle, he screams, "Say hello to my little friend!" If you didn't know where it came from before, now you do.
It's one of the many memorable quotes delivered by Al Pacino's Tony Montana in directed by Brian De Palma from a screenplay by Oliver Stone.The movie chronicles the life of the fictional Tony Montana (Pacino), a Cuban refugee who arrives in Miami in 1980.With his best friend Manny (Steven Bauer), Tony begins working as a henchman for drug lord Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia).
As Tony becomes more familiar with the drug trade, he cuts a deal with one of the kingpins, completing his ascension to the top.However, Tony's meteoric rise didn't come without making a few enemies, and those adversaries want their revenge.Tony Montana is probably right behind Michael Corleone on the list of Pacino's best characters.
Pacino fully commits to Tony's excessive lifestyle and over-the-top brutality.It is a stylish gangster epic with an eccentric character like Tony at its center.The story mirrors the effects of the illegal substance Tony sells: an immediate high followed by a disastrous crash.
