Well, I've been watching/reading a lot of detective fiction this year. Always been an avid fan of mystery-solving dramas and it amazes me to this day how much muted it goes. I mean, yes people know Shutter Island, The Silence of the Lambs and Memento, but I believe there's a lot that people are missing on. Just for the sake of it, I've decided to share a list of my favourite detective dramas over the years. Hell I want everyone to know about these masterpieces.
Note: There won't be popular releases posted here (at least in my list). I'll do movies and tv shows together here. THIS IS MY OPINION.
Let's start
The Chaser
The superior better version of I Saw The Devil. It's older, has better characters and is far more original. And yeah, it's one of the best psychopathic cases based around true story. It will shock you in unbelievable ways.
Mr. Brooks
Mr. Brooks is just a great watch. It unfolds itself into a mess and it's all over the place with twists. Great flick, especially if you're in the mood for rivaled suspense.
Broadchurch
This started this year but it has all the elements to be a great crime-solving detective drama. Whodunit fanatics will be pleased from this.
Confessions
The most mind-blowing thriller you'll remember for a long time. Outstanding cinematography too, so don't miss it out.
The Secret In Their Eyes
The first great classic I found on my own. Superb storytelling till the end. If you're craving old-school suspense noir, this is definitely it.
The Red Riding Trilogy
Dark case-drama filled with lots of memorable segments. Extremely immersive and hooks you on every frame. The cast performance is just grandly put together and it's almost a theater viewing in form of a tv show. Based BBC detective drama forever.
Brick
I still claim that this is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best work. In addition, this film is what I would call contemporary detective drama. It's set in an abstrat, weird way, but nails on every mood it brings. I really love this film to bits. It feels like a good blend of old and new put together. Plus the smart dialouge is just Banderas.gif worthy.
Memories of Murder
Undoubtedly the best detective film I've seen so far. Nothing tops it. Everything in this genius story is done with tremendous exceptional filmmaking. It's a living form of itself. Some of the scenes are just forever planted in my head, just too awesome to forget.
