The Netflix catalog is full of options, among which it can be difficult to find quality productions. To help you navigate this cinematic maze, here are five films that are better than you expected.
Sly
Documentarian Thom Zimny took the life of Sylvester Stallone and transformed it into an emotional quest for success and self-improvement. Sly is not just the actor’s story, told in the first person and through never-before-seen images. It’s also a carefully crafted journey through fame and the perspective of a man who had to forge himself.
Stallone recounts his version of experimental Hollywood in the 1970s. He had to navigate his way through trial and error, including making a pornographic film that he now regrets. He had to overcome deficit disorder. attention and hyperactivity that he suffered from childhood.
The thieves
Alex (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Carol (Mélanie Laurent, from “Inglourious Basterds”) are two thieves with a particular talent for traps and crimes. They decide to retire from the world of crime, but in style, by planning the last big heist, the most elaborate and risky yet.
They hire Sam (Manon Bresch) to drive at high speed, without ever looking back and without fearing the damage she could cause. The film is halfway between a heist film and a hilarious comedy.
Locked In
Lina (Rose Williams) is about to get married to the love of her life. Before that, she will have to overcome the resistance of Katherine (Famke Janssen, Jean Gray in the X-Men saga), a mother-in-law with more than suspicious behavior.
The film is a well-constructed structure in which deception, infidelity and betrayal surround what appears to be a love story. It is directly inspired by the great stories of Agatha Christie.
Nyad
Directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi managed to assemble a cast of renowned actors to chronicle the life of Diana Nyad. The marathon swimmer made history by becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida, at the age of sixty-four.
The film celebrates not only the splendor of old age with moving delicacy and kindness, but also love as the central driving force of all things. Diana is accompanied by Bonnie Stoll (played by Jodie Foster), not only the woman who believed in her talent, but also the one with whom she fell in love.
13 Hours – Welcome to Benghazi
The true story of how six members of an American security team defended the American consulate facilities in Benghazi, Libya, is still surprising. They faced a terrorist attack that killed the ambassador in 2012 with minimal resources.
Michael Bay’s film captures the tension and fear, becoming the driving force of heroes by accident. It asks the question: Is it possible to survive without having the slightest glimmer of hope?
