Hidden Gems
Hidden gem crime movies
Heists, mobs, and investigations for a group that likes a little tension. These are the crime movies that earned strong ratings without the big audience — well-reviewed films that flew under the radar, ranked by weighted rating within a lower vote-count band. Right now that includes The Shadow's Edge, Bound by Honor and Witness for the Prosecution. Surface one for the group and call it a discovery.
