Best Thriller Movies of the 2000s, Ranked by IQ Score
The decade thriller cinema started its convergence with prestige drama. Ranked by IQ Score.
The 2000s in thriller cinema is the decade the prestige-thriller convergence began. Memento (2000), Mystic River (2003), Zodiac (2007), and Michael Clayton (2007) all released within seven years, all canonical.
Anchor picks: Zodiac (2007) is the catalog's most-disciplined investigative procedural. No Country for Old Men (2007) operates at the thriller/Western border. Children of Men (2006) is the dystopian-thriller canonical entry. Oldboy (2003) introduced Park Chan-wook's revenge-thriller register to international audiences.
