The Dark Knight 2008

Where Sean dates 'garbage Heat' from: the opening heist and Nolan shooting figures against cityscapes.

The Order 2024

Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult on a white-power faction and the FBI.

The Standoff at Sparrow Creek 2018

Henry Dunham's militia mole-hunt; his 'Enemies' is next.

End of Watch 2012

One of the few recent cop movies CR could name on the spot.

Wind River 2017

Rebel Ridge 2024

The Jeremy Saulnier end of crime, borderline awards-worthy.

Crime 101 2026

The Winslow adaptation; the opening jewel robbery is invented, then reality-checked against real thieves and jewelers he interviewed.

American Animals 2018

The 2018 heist film that earned him the crack at this: a Winslow surprise-screening fan sealed it.

The Imposter 2012

His doc; the third of what he sees as three heist movies, this one a stolen identity.

True Romance 1993

The kind of smart, grown-up 80s/90s movie he wanted 'Crime 101' to feel like.

Out of Sight 1998

Collateral 2004

The French Connection 1971

Friedkin: how Popeye Doyle drives dictates the whole car-chase language.

Layton rewatched it to prep; Friedkin shut down the 710 for two weekends and reversed the cars to confuse the audience.

Good Will Hunting 1997

The 'if you don't understand what I've been through' scene he and Hemsworth deliberately did not write.

John Wick 2014

The wheelie-over-three-lanes fun he loves but ruled out as 'a different movie.'

Poor Things 2023

His case for the theater: knockout in a cinema, middling at home.

The last great thing he saw, playing it for his kids; his 15-year-old put it in his all-time top.

The other one he showed the kids; a formative influence.
