Best crime movie of the past 10 years?


This has to be the best crime movie of the past 10 years... the atmosphere, the performances, the way the story unfolds... Grim, yet beautiful movie...

So compelling, I have to keep watching it whenever I stumble upon it while surfing channels

Agree with everything ashame it doesn't get any credit and i don't know why it had great actors in it love this movie

reply

sounds similar to The Drop which I recently watched

reply

Yeah, but with more emotion and a slightly bigger canvas...

reply

I must give this a watch. thanks

I really liked it a lot...i'll offer...
The Town (2010) was really great with a fine cast!

The Departed (2006...ok i know its 11 years but c'mon!!) was an amazing remake of a Hong Kong cop thriller with a great cast as well

American Gangster (2007) the movie that shows exactly why Denzel is a f'ing supernova of a movie star...he made me root for a heroin kingpin in this one...'killer' performance!

reply

Good choices... I like American Gangster a lot.. Also underrated...

But joaquin phoenix really makes you feel it in We Own The Night... Yet none of my friends have even heard of the movie!

reply

Thank you Reno:)
And he did...Joaquin can be amazing...
Walk the Line might be my favorite biopic of all time...JP was superb, did a lot of the actual singing (!!!) and owned the screen
I cant turn that one off if i happen across it

He's an incredible actor...
