Classic submitted by crp on August 28, 2019, 8:35pm Classic- it makes you think and think! It’s ending leaves you wanting a bit more

Clown submitted by humann30 on August 9, 2020, 9:30pm It was fun because I didn’t know what was going to happen.
The Clown made me scared.

Thriller submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:47am Michael Douglas is good for this role. Nice callback to Wall Street and Falling Down. James Rebhorn is the best.

This movie requires suspension of disbelief. But I do wonder if the news stories in the background (companies fighting against providing health insurance, stocks) and the way everything just magically works for the rich elites is some sort of class commentary.

I prefer Total Recall as a movie with a similar plot.
