A list of 10 badass criminals in movies of the past 20 years. Who’s your favorite badass?
The director of Training Day (2001) (a respectable movie to say the least) has made the most hilariously ridiculous, cringe-inducingly bad movie I’ve seen in some time. Boasting a cast of renowned actors like Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Basset, even this ensemble could not save it. Olympus Has Fallen opens on Christmas eve, showing a happy president, a happy first lady, a really happy kid, happy bodyguards – until something awful happens (of course).
Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming movie Elysium is themed with the fear of the other and the poor. Matt Damon takes on the battle for equality in an exoskeleton.
Side Effects is a movie about the business of psychiatric medications, fraud, insanity and the failure of the criminal justice system. It’s a complex movie with many plots and twists, and is captivating from start to end. From a very creepy, melancholic opening, we are taken three months earlier into the story.
Prisoners offers a tired plotline (kidnapped daughters, vigilante dad), but frighteningly powerful Hugh Jackman makes up for it – watch the trailer now.
Bronson chronicles the life of infamous British prisoner Michael Peterson, a.k.a.
Escape Plan looks like a prison film with lots of 90s style action – starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylverster Stallone. Directed by Mikael Håfström.
A preview of upcoming movie Fruitvale Station starring Michael B. Jordan, directed by Ryan Coogler.
Robert Downey Jr. returns once more as the extravagant Tony Stark and Iron Man. In this third installment of this popular super hero franchise, Tony Stark faces a pretty tough terrorist with (really cool) super hero powers of his own.
