The Best New Thriller Movies (SUSPENSE FILM) of 2019
1.Serenity
Released: January 25, 2019
What Is It?
A deeply effing weird film about a woman (played by Blonde Anne Hathaway) who seeks out her old flame (Matthew McConaughy, doing his best Chrysler on an island to convince him to murder her abusive husband. But as in many thrillers, things are not what they seem. This is a creepy, slow-burning, thriller that will have you questioning your own eyes.
2.Velvet Buzzsaw
Released: January 27
What Is It?
A bizarro art world dark comedy about a mysterious dead artist whose paintings do his anti-capitalist bidding. Is it a not-so-subtle critique on the monetization of meaning in a world devoid of it? You bet.
3.Cold Pursuit
Released: February 8
What Is It?
When my husband first told me the premise of Cold Pursuit (a remake of the 2015 Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance), I thought he was joking: The action-packed thriller is about a snowplow driver (Liam Neeson) looking to avenge the death of his son by the hands of drug dealers. A SNOWPLOW DRIVER! Only Neeson could play the uncommunicative, hard working Everyman with a silence that's at once menacing and heartbreaking. But it's not all bullets and steely stares—comedic moments (thanks to silly bad guys and Liam's own "I'm too old for this shit" moments) cut through the tension and will be the reason why you remember this movie and why it made this list..
4.John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum
Released: May 17
What Is It?
The media has widely lauded 2019 as the year of the Keanussance. We at MC disagree—okay, about half of us. Keanu Reeves movies have NEVER NOT been a joy to watch and his sad-sandwich, woke AF antics have NEVER NOT been clickbait of the most satisfying order. The third installment of the series of action thrillers continues to chronicle the action-packed events (chapter 3 takes place an hour after chapter 2) set in motion by the (SPOILER ALERT!) killing of his dog in the first movie. Instead of being the hunter, he is the hunted—declared "excommunicado" by the High Table that governs this universe of assassins. The signature mix of balletic and brutal martial arts sequences, self-referential humor (thanks to bad guy and Iron Chef host Mark Dacascos) and neo-noir vibe make this our favorite thriller of the year so far.
5.Ma
Released: May 31
What Is It?
Octavia Spencer plays the ultimate cool mom (albeit short lived) to a group of high school kids looking to party. The action kicks off after one of them hits her up outside a liquor store to buy them alcohol. A series of wild parties at Ma's house ensue, feelings get hurt and her true intentions are revealed. Bonus: A dance party scene set to Debbie Deb's freestyle hit from the 80s "Lookout Weekend"—it's been on heavy rotation on my Spotify ever since.
6.Motherless Brooklyn
Released: July 3
What Is It?
Ed Norton directs and stars in this movie, based on the Jonathan Lethem novel about a spy who suffers from Tourette’s Syndrome. It’s set in New York in the 1950s and has lots of seedy, strange characters (Willem Dafoe and Bruce Willis also star) so expect fun, nostalgia thrills.
7.Joker
Released: October 4
What Is It?
Joaquin Phoenix stars as failed Gotham City comedian Arthur Fleck, who slowly descends into madness and becomes the criminal mastermind and iconic supervillain known as The Joker.
8. 21 Bridges
Released: November 22
What Is It?
Chadwick Boseman as an NYPD detective who uncovers a massive conspiracy who takes the extreme measure of shutting down all of Manhattan's 21 bridges in a manhunt for two cop killers.
