From me, the “trash” moniker is high praise. These are movies that are not appreciated by the greater culture — none have earned a Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes — but which instead are B-style movies that are more concerned with delivering feels, thrills and titillation than with “respectability.” For me, this is the good stuff — the best of Hollywood’s delightful blue collar flicks.
12. “Proud Mary” — This is the story of a depressed assassin (Taraji P. Henson) who wants to get out of the life but is just too damn tired to take the initiative. It’s a weird story for a movie, but one that is probably the most relatable movie about a hitman ever.
11. “The Hurricane Heist” — This one is surprisingly topical. It’s got climate change, economic anxiety, corrupt trigger-happy cops, and a situation too dire for anyone not in the immediate area to be able to help.
