when is the last time someone made a crime thriller as good as Heat or Collateral?

most recent one i watched was The Drop with Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini. it was enjoyable but also a very small scale movie, no big set piece action scenes or anything. and also its from like 2014

As much as I hate Tom Cruise, he's a great actor and I couldn't see anyone else selling that role like he does.

in the killer 2023, the manager guy charges $150k for a job, so what, half of that is paid to our protagonist? He has 6 storage units with vehicles and dozens of disposable passports and credit cards and illegal fire arms in each, and multiple houses?

That’s a lot of overhead. How many murders does he have to do to earn a profit

Brad Pitt can't top his character in Bullet Train so he should be done with playing killers in movies

Putting out a recommendation for The Way of the Gun for kick rear end shootout scenes.

Genuinely has some of the best gun sounds in cinema next to Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

I also liked the part where 500 cops are shooting at three guys standing in the middle of the street. But deniro somehow fights them off literally single handedly while carrying his wounded friend to safety

People probably thought Don Henly was a cool laid back guy in the 80s.

quote:

1980 arrest
Henley called paramedics to his home on November 21, 1980, where a 16-year-old girl was found naked and claiming she had overdosed on quaaludes and cocaine. She was arrested for prostitution, while a 15-year-old girl found in the house was arrested for being under the influence of drugs. Henley was arrested and subsequently charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pled no contest, was fined $2,500 and put on two years' probation. Lois Chiles, who was no longer in a relationship with Henley at the time of the incident, later said, "I was shocked to hear about it. He didn't have drugs around the house. It was an accident, I'm sure". The media attention from this incident was the primary inspiration for the song "Dirty Laundry".[82]

In February 2024, ahead of a criminal trial in New York over the alleged theft of Henley’s original handwritten lyrics for numerous Eagles hits,[88] Judge Curtis Farber sided with attorneys for the defendants who sought to introduce a letter that Henley wrote to a Santa Monica probation officer giving his account of the events leading up to Henley's arrest.[89] Contrary to Henley’s 1991 claim that he was hosting a farewell party for the Eagles’ road crew,[90] the letter states that Henley “didn’t want to see any of my friends” so he called a madam who sent a girl to his home. Henley said he and the girl had a few drinks and did some cocaine and later she had what appeared to him to be an epileptic seizure. Henley called the paramedics but the girl had recovered by the time they arrived. Henley said it was only when the paramedics asked the girl questions that he learned she was underage. A while later, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's Sexually Exploited Child Unit arrived and placed Henley and the girl under arrest.[91] During the trial testimony, Henley described the incident which led to his 1980 arrest as "a poor decision which I regret to this day,” stating that he sought an "escape" due to depression which he developed from The Eagles recent breakup[92]
