A good crime movie sits right on the line between escapism and reality, often opening our eyes to a whole new world that actually exists inside our own and with a dash of over-the-top action thrown in.
From twisting whodunnits to intense carnage-filled heists, here are the 10 best crime movies on Netflix right now.
Knives Out
Labeled as one of the best murder mysteries of the 21st Century, Rian Johnson’s Knives Out is packed full of endless twists that keep even the most eagle-eyed viewers on the edge of their seats. Add to that an incredible ensemble cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Toni Collete, and many more, and Knives Out is guaranteed to entertain.
The Good Nurse
Based on the book of the same name, The Good Nurse follows nurse Amy Loughren, who is shocked when she discovers one of her colleagues is responsible for the deaths of dozens of patients over the course of nearly 16 years, across nine hospitals, without ever being caught.
American Hustle
American Hustle takes a fresh spin on the classic criminal work with the Government for amnesty trope found in a lot of crime films. When con artists Irving and Sydney find themselves involved in an FBI sting operation, the mission unexpectedly leads to the conviction of some incredibly prominent people.
The Pale Blue Eye
When veteran detective Augustus Landor investigates a series of grisly murders, he finds himself aided by a young cadet – who will eventually go on to become the world-famous author Edgar Allen Poe.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
Six years after Breaking Bad finished airing, Netflix took viewers back to HBO’s award-winning world with El Camino. After escaping captivity, Jesse Pinkman must deal with his past to make some kind of future for himself.
The Irishman
From director Martin Scorsese, The Irishman is the life story of truck driver turned criminal Frank Sheeran, exploring his life, criminal history, and downfall from the 1950s to the present day.
The Highwaymen
Everyone knows the story of Bonnie and Clyde, but what about the detectives tasked with catching them? Starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, The Highwaymen is just that story as two former Texas Rangers come out of retirement to catch the notorious outlaws.
Reservoir Dogs
There was guaranteed to be at least one Tarantino movie on this list, and it has to be his first, Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino’s debut is famously a heist movie without a heist, as the group of color-codenamed criminals must uncover the rat in their group after a jewelry store robbery gone wrong.
The Guilty
After a troubled police detective is demoted to 911 operator duty, he receives a call from a distressed woman who has been kidnapped. As he scrambles to help her in any way he can, the day becomes filled with revelations and reckonings.
Bullet Train
Easily the funniest film on this list, Bullet Train is an adaptation of the Japanese novel of the same name. When Ladybug, a professional assassin going through a moral crisis, is assigned to retrieve a briefcase from a bullet train, he soon finds himself battling many other killers on the same train, with a different objective.
The Mule
Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, The Mule tells the story of Earl Stone, a horticulturist who becomes a courier for a drug cartel due to financial issues. As his travels bring him closer to his estranged family, his illegal activities threaten much more than his life.
