"The Outfit" is on Prime and is a great old-school gangsta film. It gets a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"The Mare Of Eastwood. is on HBO plus and is a modern-day whodunnit set in a small city in eastern Pa. It is much more than that. It puts a microscope on nearly ordinary people responding to extraordinary events. There are many curveballs and plot twists. Mare is a middle-aged mother with several skeletons in her closet. She is the only detective on a very small police force. I tried hard, but I could NOT figure out the mystery.
"Pennyworth" a prequel of Batman's butler is on HBO max and there are 3 seasons. This is not for everyone because it is more fiction than fact, but not a completely dumb comics film either. It is less fantasy than "Game of Thrones" but at about that same level of acting and production quality. The actors have very heavy 1940s English accents, which adds to the interest. There is a lady character with red hair that plays a unique role and is rather unforgettable. If you liked something over-the-top like "Bad Santa" .......you would like this.
"Barry" also on HBO plus is a comedy about a hitman that wants to stop hitting, but the world keeps getting in his way. It is well done (acting and writing).and has just enough serious spots to make the funny parts - extra funny. There is one supporting character that has a shaved head and is part of some less-than-professional eastern European crime gang. Pay special attention to his smooth dance moves, if you watch it.
