14 Best Political Thrillers, Ranked by MovieWeb

"Political thrillers are a maxim of the thriller genre. These films find ways to navigate a country's power apparatus in corrupt forces of power, governing bodies, and political parties mixed with dirty money or conglomerates seizing on the free-wheeling nature of a capitalist structure. Political thrillers offer insight and are plagued by a weight of paranoia that questions the free will of an individual. Many of these films made headway in Hollywood in the 1970s when a changing of the guard was happening. Yet, more often than not, these films are also hugely entertaining popcorn flicks that indulge a filmmaker's eye for aesthetics. A gifted director can funnel commentary into shots and compositions creating a sense of artful pop cinema. These are the ten best political thrillers." - movieweb.com
