Seven dangerous fellas, zero interest in subtlety, and pretty horses. That's this particular Western in a nutshell, because it does nothing quietly. It takes the bones of a classic story and then throws it into the body of a louder and bloodier action movie for modern times. It's dusty, yes, and violent as well, but it's the exact kind of movie that you'll be looking for when you need something to stream late at night on the weekend.

It's crazy to think that a thriller as bonkers as Tony Scott's Déjà Vu was green-lit by a major studio, let alone made over $180 million worldwide. Beyond its time-traveling plot and god-level technical craftsmanship, though, Scott focuses the hyperactive, super-saturated thriller style he perfected in Man on Fire on grounded, moving performances and his characters' subjective experience. Firing on all cylinders as well is Denzel Washington in a heart-melting turn as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who starts off trying to stop a terrorist bombing that already happened and ends up falling in love with a woman he may never meet, but feels compelled to save.

Denzel Washingtonjumping from the Ancient Rome of Gladiator II with Ridley Scott right into another sword-and-sandals epic, this time with his longtime collaborator Antoine Fuqua sounded almost too good to be true, which in Hollywood usually means it either is, or it's not going to be easy. And this one is not going to be easy. Washington, one of the most iconic actors of all time, has long been attached to star as the Carthaginian general Hannibal in a new Netflix production and on paper, that's a slam dunk. It's got ancient warfare, elephants, Rome again, but it's a bumpier road than expected.

In this day and age, a political thriller might seem as terrifying as a horror movie, especially one that, even more than 20 years later, seems as horrifyingly resonant now as it did at the time. Are we selling the movie to you? Great! Based on a 1962 old War classic, this 2004 remake ended up trading in the Iron Curtain paranoia for things like media control, and it worked really well. Interested? Good. Now you can stream it.
