The article highlights Netflix's impressive lineup of recent and older films available for streaming, emphasizing a variety of genres, particularly horror. Notable mentions include the biopic of Muhammad Ali featuring Will Smith, Ridley Scott's 'American Gangster' with an exceptional ensemble cast, the Coen brothers' satirical 'Burn After Reading', and celebrating the 20th anniversary of 'Constantine'. Each film is briefly reviewed, noting significant performances and the themes that resonate through them, indicating a rich viewing experience for audiences.
Will Smith gave arguably the most impressive performance of his career in this unusual biopic by director Michael Mann. Muhammad Ali was such a magnetic public figure that it made a traditional biopic approach impossible, but Mann and Smith did their best to get under the skin of one of the most important figures of the 20th century.
This flick has all of the trademark craft of Ridley Scott's career, but it's also notable for an insane ensemble that also includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Josh Brolin, Armand Assante, John Hawkes, Ruby Dee, Idris Elba, Common, and so many more.
How could we have known how prescient this Coen brothers comedy about the increasing idiocy at the highest levels of government would be? This is one of the Coens' most underrated flicks.
Celebrate by revisiting the saga of John Constantine, an exorcist who has the ability to not only see what's hiding under the surface of society but to travel back and forth from Hell.
