I thought this is what we were talking about. Loved it, highly recommend.
Also, The Night Agent.
The Recruit is a bit uneven and more graphic, but still enjoyable.


OP here. I enjoyed The Bodyguard a lot. It felt a little truncated--not fully developed. Or maybe I just was unprepared and didn't see the clue for what ultimately it was about, which I won't say since that would be a Spoiler. But even then, I enjoyed it a lot.

Will try Night Agent (I was thinking the Night Manager which I LOVED! and the Recruit. Thank you.

Ghost was also like this--didn't know who killed Patrick Swayze until the end.

Though I do think Kevin Costner was poorly cast.

However - speaking of Kevin Costner - No Way Out fits the bill of what OP is looking for.

Its a fun mystery political thriller that has held up well.


OP here. Loved No Way Out. And agree that KC was bad casting in The Bodyguard. No emotion which I get he's a bodyguard, and he has that same demeanor in pretty much everything, so shouldn't be a surprise. Denzel Washington or Liam Neeson would have been great, imo.

I had to laugh when I was sitting here thinking: Frozen?? Then it hit me. 😂

Loved Jagged Edge.

Will look for The Negotiator, Identity and Suspect.

And very intrigued about Apples Never Fall. I really liked Big Little Lies, though wish I hadn't known who did it when I watched the series later.

Thanks!
