Suspense films come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny, micro-budget independent films that a writer/director for the first time presents to financiers in years, to multi-million dollar Hollywood movies with top-tier talent in front of and off camera. And as viewers, our only job is to give our full attention to any type of thriller, no matter how much it costs to make the film in the first place. Keanu Reeves, in his arrogant and confused pomp, is a hot and morally ambiguous lawyer confronted with the career opportunity of a lifetime by a charismatic, enigmatic and possibly demonic New York CEO, played by Al Pacino. It`s flashy, cheesy and hammy in the best possible way, as Pacino screams and whispers in turn to seduce Keanu into his circle. As a supernatural horror, it also has its moments, especially in a disturbing sequence with Reeves` wife, played by Charlize Theron. It is long and thick applied, but if you neglect its flaws and indulge in it, it is a Hollywood movie of the most entertaining order. As you can see in the rest of this list, the `90s were a golden age of stylish, starry right-wing thrillers, and they`re not much better than director Sydney Pollack`s The Firm. John Grisham`s first adaptation has a little bit of everything — tax papers, mocking gangsters and Gary Busey, to begin with — but there`s a reason to see this movie: the strangeness of Tom Cruise. He does a backflip in this film.

What else do you need to know? Amazon Prime may have a robust catalog, but it doesn`t have it all. Luckily, we`ve also curated recaps of the best thrillers on Netflix and the best thrillers on Hulu. When it comes to mystery movies, this 90s classic is one of the usual suspects. Bryan Singer`s heist movie is half as smart as watching Keyser Söze`s thriller again will surely remind you. The murderous cast of Gabriel Byrne, Benicio del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Chazz Palminteri and a pre-bio Stephen Baldwin dome shines when they exchange harsh jokes and clever criticisms of Christopher McQuarrie`s script. It`s easy to reduce Rob Reiner`s A Few Good Men to Jack Nicholson, who shouts, “You can`t handle the truth!” but it`s just as easy to forget how disturbing and tense a film it is about the cult nepotism of the Marines. There are a lot of moving parts in A Few Good Men, but it revolves around the murder of Marine William Santiago (Michael DeLorenzo) and the two unequal lawyers JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) and Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), who are tasked with defending his accused murderers, two comrades. This puts them against Nicholson`s sinister Colonel Jessup. Although this is Aaron Sorkin`s first film as a writer, it is still one of his best screenplays, intelligent and catchy, that ends up reaching the roots of an American institution. One of the funniest aspects of Three Days of the Condor is that the dashing Robert Redford is portrayed as a low-key CIA analyst, even though he obviously looks like Robert Redford of the `70s.

Thankfully, as the plot takes action and paranoia sets in, sending Redford`s Joseph Turner into a crazy leap through New York with Faye Dunaway`s Kathy, the actor has more than a few chances to fall into superhero-spy mode. Sydney Pollack`s staging is smoother than some of the other Watergate-era thrillers like The Conversation or The Parallax View, but the film cleverly evokes the discomfort and horror of being involved in a conspiracy that you can`t quite understand or understand. Order, order! I`ll have order in this list of film best-ofs, so help me, God David Tennant (aka Doctor Who from 2005 to 2015) plays a hot lawyer who has never lost a case and specializes in getting people out of particularly delicate legal entanglements. I wonder if it doesn`t become a problem when he takes a client who could be a serial killer. The Coen brothers` 1996 classic stood the test of time (and inspired the anthology TV show of the same name) for a reason. Stacked with a starry cast and imbued with a dark sense of humor, this homemade murder story about Jerry Lundegaard`s (William H. Macy) clumsy crime won`t disappoint. He has the Oscars he got for Best Screenplay and Best Actress – Frances McDormand, you know? If you`ve never seen it before, you need to do it. When a young father boards a high-speed train from Seoul to Busan, he is completely unprepared to deal with the outbreak of a fast-acting zombie disease that quickly grabs train passengers.
