From the same director
The Untouchables
A true work of cinematic art, with great direction by Brian De Palma and a star-studded cast. The pace and action scenes are incredible, but the highlight really goes to Sean Connery's Oscar-winning performance and Ennio Morricone's Grammy-winning score.
Casualties of War
Considered by none other than Quentin Tarantino as the best movie about the Vietnam War. One of the merits of the feature is knowing how to combine action scenes with an ethical debate, along with great performances by Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn.
Carlito's Way
One of great movies from director Brian De Palma, with amazing sequences. The performances of Al Pacino and Sean Penn are unforgettable, not to mention the story has a human look at the tale of a former mobster who now wants to lead a righteous life.
Carrie
A terrifying vision of bullying, adolescence, and supernatural powers, which is one of its main merits for the perfect combination of horror and suspense. Not to mention that the graduation scene is one of the most classic scenes in movie history. Don't watch the recent remake, but see the original work of art - even though it may seem a bit dated to the younger eyes.
Dressed to Kill
‘Dressed to Kill’ is an excellently directed erotic thriller by Brian De Palma (director of ‘Scarface’) in an obvious homage to one of the most influential filmmakers in his style: Alfred Hitchcock. You may feel a bit dated by today's standards, but the script is solid and the performances from legends like Michael Caine and Nancy Allen are masterful.
Scarface
"Say hello to my little friend!" The iconic phrase of Tony Montana was destined to be part of pop culture, so much so that you surely recognize it even if you haven't seen 'Scarface'. Based on the original 1932 version, Brian De Palma directs an authentic gangster movie classic. In addition, this movie launched the career of Michelle Pfeiffer, has a wonderful performance by Al Pacino and has music by Giorgio Moroder as the icing on the cake.
Mission: Impossible
The beginning of one of the most famous spy franchises in cinema, right behind the stories of James Bond, 'Mission: Impossible' is a movie with a 1990s feel and already showing some signs of what would come in future productions. Here, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, in a role that became a milestone in his career) embarks on a secret mission that goes wrong and the protagonist, all of a sudden, becomes the main suspect in the murder of his spy partner. Director Brian de Palma ('Scarface', 'Carrie: The Strange') sets the tone with interesting visual jokes, with an 80s look and 90s spirit, despite some stumbles in the more emotional scenes - there's a lack of adrenaline in certain moments. But Tom Cruise's precise acting and iconic scenes in cinema history, such as the famous sequence of Ethan Hunt descending from the ceiling in a maximum security room, make up for the mistakes and outdated moments of the movie. To have fun and, mainly, to kick off the franchise marathon.
Thriller
La extorsión
A solid Argentine genre film proposal. La extorsión follows a commercial pilot who holds some secrets, which intelligence services start to use against him to extort him and force him to smuggle a suitcase from Argentina to Spain. Naturally, the tension starts to get to him and things get out of hand, in an intense plot with some logic flaws. However, the lead performance by Guillermo Francella (El clan) is, as always, impeccable. If you enjoy thrillers, you're sure to love it.
Death's Roulette
A surprising mix made in Mexico of escape room and horror thriller genres, similar to Saw: juego macabro. In Death's Roulette, we follow a group of seven strangers who awaken trapped in an unknown house. To escape, they have to make an impossible decision: one of them must die, somebody has to agree to it and cannot offer themselves. With time running out to save their lives, the group soon discovers that a dark secret from the past binds them together. Even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel and is a bit predictable, there are interesting twists in the narrative, highlighted by a great cast including names like Maribel Verdú, Adriana Paz and Fernando Becerril. A solid directorial debut for Colombian actor Manolo Cardona, best known for roles in productions such as Narcos and Rubirosa.
