The Silent Patient Alex Michaelides I have no idea how this has a 4.2 on Goodreads or how I managed to finish it. 2019Thriller
Barbarian I’m not typically into horror, but this was great, surprisingly funny at times. Go in blind if you can. 2022HorrorThriller
Companion Way better than I expected. The premise is far from new, but timely and well executed. Go in completely blind, if possible. 2025HorrorScience FictionThriller
Tuner Well written, good pacing, and great soundtrack. Another great performance by Leo Woodall. 2026CrimeDramaThriller

The Amateur Mix of Mr. Robot and Jason Bourne, but not as good as either. 2025ThrillerActionEspionage

Normal Fargo meets Hot Fuzz, but unfortunately not as good as either. Some decent humor though, so above average for the genre. 2026ActionThrillerCrime
In the Grey If only Guy Ritchie made a sequel to The Man From Uncle instead of this. Not bad, but also not particularly good. 2026ActionThriller
