Best Netflix thriller movies to watch this week\u2018Dead Man\u2019s Wire\u2019 (2025)<\/p>\n

\u201cDead Man\u2019s Wire\u201d offers a particularly gripping narrative, and it only gets more intriguing when you learn that it\u2019s actually based on a shocking true story. Knowing that the events depicted on screen really happened greatly adds to the tension. However, its biggest selling point is Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s sterling work. The Swedish actor fully commits to the role of a man driven to the extreme when he feels taken advantage of by his mortgage broker.<\/p>\n

Set in 1977, Tony Kiritsis (Skarsg\u00e5rd) walks into the offices of his mortgage company and takes the CEO\u2019s son, Richard (Dacre Montgomery), hostage. Strapping a dead man\u2019s device around Richard\u2019s neck, if Kiritsis is harmed, the shotgun pointed at his hostage’s chest will fire. What follows is a tense standoff as police try to talk Kiritsis down. But Kiritsis believes he\u2019s morally justified in his actions, complicating things.<\/p>\n

The best way I can describe 2016\u2019s \u201cThe Girl on the Train\u201d is that it\u2019s like a Walmart<\/a> version of \u201cGone Girl.\u201d Its exploration of the darker side of a seemingly blissful marriage, twisting, multi-perspective narrative and polished cinematography appear more than a little inspired by David Fincher\u2019s 2014 psychological masterpiece. Like most Walmart versions, it\u2019s a serviceable approximation, but definitely not of the same overall quality.<\/p>\n

Based on Paula Hawkins novel (itself released three years after Gillian Flynn\u2019s \u201cGone Girl\u201d), Emily Blunt plays Rachel, a recovering alcoholic and recent divorc\u00e9e. Every day, she takes the same train into New York and becomes obsessed with a young couple, Scott (Luke Evans) and Megan (Haley Bennett), whose plush house she can peer into from the train. But when Megan mysteriously disappears, Rachel becomes dangerously involved in the case.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hand that Rocks the Cradle\u201d is a real \u201890s thriller classic. It was remade for Hulu last year, but as is typically the case, the original remains the superior option. That\u2019s in large part because of Rebecca De Mornay\u2019s appropriately unhinged performance. This psychological chiller thrives on dramatic irony. As viewers, we\u2019re given crucial information that our protagonists are completely oblivious to, which leads to some very unnerving moments.<\/p>\n

The perfect life of Mrs. Mott (De Mornay) comes crashing down when her husband, a successful obstetrician, is accused of sexual misconduct and commits suicide to avoid facing the consequences. The stress of the situation causes Mrs. Mott to miscarry the couple\u2019s first child. Blaming one of her husband\u2019s accusers, Claire (Annabella Sciorra), she concocts a sinister plan to get revenge by posing as a nanny and wreaking havoc on Claire\u2019s family from within.<\/p>\n
