Underrated Crime Thriller Movies

So many of these became blockbuster while some sank to the bottom. Today we counting down our picks for the best crime thriller movies which are great but didn't get the response they derserved.

• Inside Man

Spike Lee's 2006 film inside man is a nevertheless good thriller. The story is simple as a team of robbers smartly robs a bank.But the execution of the simple story is quite good. All the actors in the movie delivers good performances. But it also has some bad aspects, it is not a perfect movie it has so many potholes.

• Human capital

Human capital is a Italian film. It has a intriguing story and amazing plot. It's about a crime told by three perspective. It's actually a dipiction of human nature put forward in a brilliant way. The movie is available on netflix.

• I saw the devil

I saw the devil delivers pain and suffering in a horrific way. Watching this movie is a gutwrenching feel. It is intense, gripping and overall filled with thrill. Korean director jee woon direct movie leaves your mind wandering. It's brutal at some points and you crave for satisfaction. 

• Heavenly Creatures

The movie shows the crime as resulting from a tragic confluence of coincidences: Two girls, both emotionally unstable in just the right way to complement each other's weaknesses, are outsiders in a Christchurch girls' school. The movie is much more than this it is frightening for sure. The way director molded the story in the frightening way is stunning. The movie surprise you at times and in the ending leaves you with many thoughts to think about. It is a must watch movie for any cinema lover.

• The alphalt jungle

The Asphalt Jungle (1950) is surely underrated. Especially among younger movie enthusiasts these days. Ahead of its time for a: 'One last job and I'm out of the game for good' type of crime flick. Especially during the vault seen when there is absolutely no music being played while the would-be-thieves try and break in to steal the jewels. Which adds to the tension for the viewer. Definitely worth a watch

• Prisoners

The last and in my opinion the most underrated movie of all time. Prisoner is a brilliant movie and keeps you on the edge of your seat in the whole runtime. The film doesn't use jumpscare and thrill music, in order to thrill the audience, but rather, moments of silence and stillness. Its calm and cold vibe stirs up the kind of anxiety it wants its audience to feel, and naturally, the audience would want to get rid of that uneasiness by knowing what's going on, thus, cleverly forcing them to watch the entire film which runs about 2 hrs and 33mins. The cast delivers stunning performances and especially Hugh Jackman.
