Weapons is more horror than thriller but I'll allow it 😅
One Battle After Another at #1, no argument from me. That car chase on the hills is unreal.
No Other Choice is so bleak and so funny at the same time, Park Chan-wook never misses.
Black Bag is the most grown-up spy movie in years, 90 minutes and not one wasted scene.
