Dec 3, 2021 · From No Time to Die to I Care A Lot, Steve Charnock has his say on the best crime movies of 2021. Which films would make your list?
- The Little Things. We like the sound of this first one. The Little Things has a real mid-90s thriller sound about it. Denzel Washington is Joe ‘Deke’ Deacon, a burned-out but intuitive deputy sheriff who teams up with Rami Malek’s LA Sheriff’s Department hotshot Jim Baxter to track down a deranged but wily serial killer, played by Jared Leto.
- Wrath of Man. Guy Ritchie seems to have got his taste back for his unique brand of sweary ‘get the lads together’ action-crime films, after more than a decade spent putting together flicks like Sherlock Holmes, The Man from UNCLE and Aladdin.
- Nobody. If you think that Liam Neeson pivoting to hard man action roles in his later years was odd, then you ain’t seen nothing yet. 2021’s next unlikely tough guy?
- The Many Saints of Newark. The Sopranos is up there among the greatest television dramas ever made. Perhaps the very best when it comes to the crime genre.
