But guess who these four black men are?
They are none other than Malcolm X, Jim Brown, Cassius Clay, and Sam Cooke.

Now those three are in town to take their share and it’s on Reggie to sort things out. When she again meets Andrew, things become more complicated until none of the characters or audience knows what to believe.

This super hit Japanese movie is a must-watch for all action genre lovers. 13 Assassins is adapted from The Thirteen Assassins, its namesake movie released in 1963. The director of this movie, Takashi Miike, has made over a hundred movies but this one stands out. 13 Assassins is a stylish and modern throwback to the classic samurai story of the mid-twentieth century.

Matsudaira Naritsugu is the leader of Akashi who is known to be evil and corrupt and these 13 have taken it upon themselves to bring justice to all affectees.

If you’re a fan of Al Pacino (well, who isn’t?), his debut in Hollywood is a must-watch movie. Serpico is about the life of Frank Serpico who is a New York police agent. He discovers that in the local police force, there is a line of corrupt officers who are working day and night against the police norms and causing lawlessness in the city.
He then informs the higher-ups in order to get rid of the corrupt ones. But things take a turn and his dishonest comrades suddenly turn against him. He then sets on a journey that brings death at every turn he takes. It is one of the most exciting street dramas ever made and stays exciting throughout the movie.
- Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)
This movie has a stellar cast with names like Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, and Benedict Cumberbatch. This espionage movie is about a British spy who has been given the responsibility to take out a mole from within the intelligence services. The movie is based on le Carre’s novel of the same name and the movie really does stay true to the original material.
