Action? Check. Adventure? Check. Thrills?? Obviously.

With the wave (read: tsunami) of true crime television in the zeitgeist this year, we thought it a good time to issue this PSA. Consider this a friendly reminder that the best thrills can, in fact, be capped at two hours–or even three hours, if you’re watching The Batman. If you’re still thinking about who killed Brenda in Under The Banner of Heaven, or who killed Kathleen in The Staircase, or who killed Betty in Candy, or who killed–okay, you get it–then take these great thriller movies for a spin and wrap up the murder mystery in a cool 120 minutes.

‘The Good Nurse’

Our most favorite redheads, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne, star in this awardsy new film that follows the true story of a nurse who murders dozens of patients across nine hospitals via lethal injection.

‘Stars at Noon’

While Taylor and Jack were making Midnights, their partners Joe Alwyn and Margaret Qualley were busy filming this new thriller from director Claire Denis. The film, which follows an American journalist stuck in Nicaragua who finds herself in the throes of romance with a mysterious Englishman, won big at the Cannes Film Festival.

‘Where the Crawdads Sing’

The darling of book clubs everywhere, Where the Crawdads Sing hit theaters this year and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People and Under the Banner of Heaven fame. The story follows a girl who lives in a marsh and becomes wrapped up in a murder investigation.

‘The Menu’

This upcoming thriller stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult as a couple visiting a buzzy new restaurant with a mysterious menu from an acclaimed chef (Ralph Fiennes).
