Joe Wright, who gave us Darkest Hour and Pride and Prejudice, adapted Ian McEwan’s novel with Keira Knightley and James McAvoy and won a Golden Globe for the film. World War II in 1935.

This story will keep you in suspense until the end, and you will only realize at the last minute that everything is not as it seems!
“Changing” (2008)
Clint Eastwood, the brilliant author of “Gran Torino” and “Million Dollar Baby”, is at work. The action takes place in Los Angeles in the 20s: after contacting the police about the disappearance of a child, the main character (played by Angelina Jolie, by the way) soon accepts her son, but tells the police that it is not him.

The duo of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio! The story is about two bailiffs investigating the disappearance of a patient at a psychiatric clinic for criminals. A very good thriller with an unexpected ending, you will definitely wonder what really happened next. And the same meme with Leo crying is from here.

Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan in Roman Polanski’s dark thriller. One of the “pen ghosts” (referred to in the publishing world as “literary blacks”) dies under mysterious circumstances on the eve of the publication of a new novel, and another is assigned to complete his work.
