Antoine Fuqua's new movie Brooklyn's Finest represents lots of similarities with his own previous creations. This is quite understandable. It's pointless to deviate from things were used to achieve a fairly good success. And now, after 3 years after the last work there, meet Brooklyn's Finest. The film tells the stories of three very different policemen, exposing the problems of each of them, and then moving from the private narrative to a more mass perception.

Law Abiding Citizen leaves a pleasant impression. The plot is clearly teetering on the brink between a protracted legal thriller and a frightening story about the cunning maniac who is not led by the hedge, and which cleverly uses a loophole in the system of American Justice. There is no satire in Law Abiding Citizen's plot. Despite the presence of mayor, many lawyers and lots of advocates in the the F. Gary Gray movie., it is just a fascinating story about a man who put the personality over the system. Put and won.

The basic concept for the film was developed by Johnson after he made Brick in 2005. He wanted to make an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery film, but his next project became Star Wars: The Last Jedi. After finishing his press tour for that film, he spent seven months writing the script for Knives Out.

Brad Pitt plays Jackie Cogan in Andrew Dominik's crime thriller Killing Them Softly, a mobster whose task is to investigate an impudent murder which happened during the illegal poker game organized by mafia bosses. To have a holistic perception of the movie atmosphere just mix-up in your imagination The Sopranos, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction and put them in a Bush/Obama post-crisis America of last half of 2008; ladle it with some thick layer of political dressing made of pragmatic thoughts and infallible Jackie Cogan's phrases about what happens with people when recession comes and who is responsible for all of this mess. Killing Them Softly is loosely based on George V. Higgins novel Cogan's Trade which he wrote in the period of time 1972 – 1974, when he worked as lawyer, specializing in crime processes involving mafia complicity. This fact leads us to believe that he knows a lot about the shady inside world of gangster's "paradise" which served as a perfectly sharpened background for Andrew Dominik's movie. Filmed for that point in post-Katrina New Orleans Killing Them Softly immerses us in the abyss of despair and hopelessness which enveloped everyone's minds and souls of in America, regardless of occupation – even for thorough-paced gangster – it's time to think about what's wrong with this world. The movie was nominated for the Palme d'Or at 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012.

George Smiley was a disgrace as a British spy back when the "Cold War" was the world's biggest threat. The mid 20th century found much of the free world in fear of those who chose to do harm to any who did not agree with their way of thinking. Soviet Russia was the biggest threat at the time and we used spies to investigate what they were up to constantly. They, in turn, also had their spies who kept a close eye on the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Based on a classic novel with the same title, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tells a tale of intrigue and quiet desperation that depicts the spy among us who went about their business without fear for their own lives. Men like George Smiley (Gary Oldman from The Dark Knight, Air Force One), who comes out of retirement to find a "mole" who has infiltrated the Secret Intelligence Service and is a threat to all things right in the world. What ensues makes for an excellent story and even though slow in parts, is well worth viewing.

Everly is a 2014 action thriller directed by Joe Lynch, starring Salma Hayek as the titular character. Everly is a prostitute working for the crime lord Taiko (Hiroyuki Watanabe), working secretly to bring down his organization with the help of the police. While trapped inside her apartment, Everly faces off with hired killers and even other prostitutes who have been promised a bounty if they are able to kill her. The film features music by Bear McCreary, who did the soundtrack for the rebooted version of the Battlestar Galactica television series. Lynch originally wrote the story while listening to the soundtrack for the second season of the show. Early reviews of the film have been mixed to positive, and compared to the early Die Hard movies or the blood-spattered epic of Kill Bill. The film plays toward assassin and mafia tropes and offers little in the way of plot, but plenty in the way of action.
