10 Great Thriller Movies Favored by the Safdie Brothers

"From negligent fathers and heroin junkies to bank robbers and self-destructive gamblers. These are the kind of characters that populate the films of the Safdie Brothers. A whole array of crooked individuals who are driven into extremely erratic behavior by their own desperation. If there is a recurrent theme in each of their first four features it's the sense of an inescapable fate that dooms every character, who in turn challenge it by trying every dirty trick in the book. It can be nerve-wracking to see them dig themselves deep into trouble time and time again. But part of the appeal of their stories is how they manage to craft characters that ultimately feel real, all their flaws and sins considered."
