| 2017 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | Panic Room | 2002 | 80 | 22 | (full review) - Panic Room may suffer from it’s script, but David Fincher creates suspenseful tension and makes this simple plot, better than just your average-thriller. | | Pi | 1998 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | Red Eye | 2005 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | Side Effects (2013) | 2013 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | Split | 2017 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | The Killing of a Sacred Deer | 2017 | 80 | 22 | (full review) | | Arlington Road | 1999 | 75 | 35 | (full review) | | Game, The | 1997 | 75 | 35 | (full review) | | Get Out | 2017 | 75 | 35 | (full review) | | Nocturnal Animals | 2016 | 75 | 35 | (full review) | | The Neon Demon | 2016 | 75 | 35 | (full review) | | Breakdown | 1997 | 70 | 40 | (full review) | | Contagion | 2011 | 70 | 40 | (full review) - Contagion has an impressive ensemble and makes you feel as if you are in a world of fear and panic during this epidemic, but you never actually feel totally involved with this story, and more of just a watcher of Soderbergh’s annoying way of showing how much cool science stuff he knows. | | Oldboy (2013 Spike Lee) | 2013 | 70 | 40 | (full review) | | Phone Booth | 2002 | 70 | 40 | (full review) - The direction and acting is what keeps Phone Booth tense and entertaining, but the focus seems a little bit too divided and there isn’t much that this film really tries to answer by the end of the film either. | | Primal Fear | 1996 | 70 | 40 | (full review) | | Skin I Live In, The (La piel que habito) | 2011 | 70 | 40 | (full review) | | Stoker | 2013 | 70 | 40 | (full review) | | Dolores Claiborne | 1995 | 65 | 47 | (full review) | | Insomnia | 2002 | 65 | 47 | (full review) | | Manchurian Candidate, The (2004) | 2004 | 65 | 47 | (full review) | | Unbreakable | 2000 | 65 | 47 | (full review) | | Basic Instinct | 1992 | 60 | 51 | (full review) | | eXistenZ | 1999 | 60 | 51 | (full review) | | Falling Down | 1993 | 60 | 51 | (full review) - Falling Down is darkly funny, very well-acted by Douglas, and not your usual vigilante film, but has many cliches, and not enough screen time devoted to Douglas. | | Limitless | 2011 | 60 | 51 | (full review) - Director Neil Burger uses a lot of different and crazy visuals to effectively create a state of mind when on drugs, and Bradley Cooper is good in this lead role, but the script lets-down Limitless with its many missed opportunities, and confusing outcomes. | | Martha Marcy May Marlene | 2011 | 55 | 55 | (full review) | | One Hour Photo | 2002 | 55 | 55 | (full review) | | Adjustment Bureau | 2011 | 50 | 57 | (full review) - The tone may be all over-the-place, and the premise doesn’t go the extra mile it could have, but the script is nice, and the overall genuine chemistry between Damon and Blunt has us really involved with this story. | | The Ninth Gate | 1999 | 50 | 57 | (full review) | | Chloe | 2010 | 35 | 59 | (full review) | | Law Abiding Citizen | 2009 | 30 | 60 | (full review) | | The Mothman Prophecies | 2002 | 30 | 60 | (full review) |
