‘World Trade Center’ (2006)
Starring the great Nicolas Cage, this film takes a look at the experience of a group of Port Authority Police Officers who responded on the scene during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Sgt. John McLoughlin (Cage) and Officer Will Jimeno (Michael Peña) arrive to rescue people from the disaster, but they themselves become trapped in the rubble, and it’s a race against the clock to get them out.
Director Oliver Stone’s docudrama disaster flick is as harrowing as it is inspiring, and offers a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives during the tragic attack. The film is also visually impressive and excels at creating a sense of heart-pounding claustrophobia, while not going overboard into excessively maudlin territory with its tone and sentimentality.

‘Borderline’ (2025)
Sofia Minor (Samara Weaving) is a pop star with a major problem — she has an obsessed fan, Paul Duerson (Ray Nicholson), who thinks they are in love. After an initial attempt to establish contact lands him in prison, Paul escapes and, with the help of fellow inmate Penny (Alba Baptiste), breaks into Sofia’s mansion to profess his love for her. But Paul’s best-laid plans come undone as Sofia is ready with a security guard (Eric Dane) eager for revenge and her own resolve to stop Paul’s stalking once and for all.
While Borderline’s plot is a standard psycho stalker story that Fatal Attraction perfected nearly four decades ago, what elevates the movie is the performances of the two leads. As Sofia, Weaving adds yet another formidable female to her scream queen resume, while Nicholson shows a talent for lunacy that he must have inherited from his famous father, Jack. He has a gift for playing men with madness that isn’t too far off from The Shining’s Jack Torrance.

‘Drop’ (2025)
Getting back into the dating scene is a nightmare for Violet Gates (Meghann Fahy) in Drop. After years of being a single widowed mother, Violet’s young son, Toby (Jacob Robinson), and Violet’s sister, Jen (Violett Beane), encourage her to go on a date with Henry Campbell (Brandon Sklenar), a man she met through a dating site.
Although Violet’s date with Henry starts well, she is harassed by strange and alarming messages on her phone that ultimately threaten the life of her son. And if Violet doesn’t cooperate with Toby’s captor and act against Henry then she may never see her son alive again.
Drop is now streaming on Peacock.
‘The Outfit’ (2022)
The Outfit takes place almost exclusively in the tailor shop of Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance) in 1956. Leonard’s primary clientele is the Irish mob, as led by Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beale) and his son, Richie (Dylan O’Brien). Despite his misgivings, Leonard even lets Richie’s girlfriend, Mable Shaun (Zoey Deutch), work at the shop.
Things start to unravel when Richie shows up at the shop badly wounded alongside his top enforcer, Francis (Johnny Flynn). The Boyle family is convinced that they have a rat in the organization, and the proof is waiting in the shop. As Leonard soon discovers, that intel is also worth killing over.
The Outfit is streaming on Peacock.
‘Memento’ (2000)
Before Christopher Nolan made his name directing the Dark Knight trilogy, his calling card in Hollywood was Memento. For his first trick, Nolan shows audiences the ending of Memento before they realize what it means. Then he lets the story unfold in two parallel narratives before catching up with the conclusion.
