Underrated/Underseen Crime Flick Picks of the New Millennium

All crime flicks listed here: small films, foreign language imports, high-profile flops or victims of unjust critical dismissal. Some were even moderately successful, but deserve to be in more conversations, others are new, but under-exposed. Didn't love every one of these, but they all have a reason to be here.

notes & titles not referencing movies
1x5: heart of darkness // referencing heart of darkness by joseph conrad
1x8: the outsiders // s.e. hinton's novel is the intended reference but the movie is notable enough for me to list it
1x10: the lost weekend // charles jackson's novel which the film is based on is a more accurate point of reference
2x2: nighthawks // nighthaws painting by edward hopper
2x12: the wicked and the divine // the wicked and the divine comic book series
2x13: the tell-tale heart // referencing the tell-tale heart by edgar allan poe
2x17: the noose tightens // book 1 chapter 4 'the noose tightens' from art spiegelman's 'maus' series
2x18: a night to remember // movie about the titanic is more popular but ~thematically~ seems less likely
2x22: brave new world // referencing brave new world by aldous huxley, all adaptations have been flops
3x2: fortune & men's eyes // the film is based off a widely acclaimed play of the same title - both the play and the screenplay were written by the same man and are very similar productions
3x7: the man in black // not entirely sure, there is a movie but given the concept of the man in black in the episode it's more likely a reference to the antagonist in lost
3x9: no exit // references the play no exit by john paul-sartre
3x12: bizarrodale // quite literally have no idea if this is even based off anything, seems like a dc comics thing maybe but i need to look in to it more
3x15: american dreams // not sure if this is right but i'm running with it
3x19: fear the reaper // might be referencing fear the reaper by j.n. chaney and scott moon, book #2 in 'the last reaper' series (??)
3x21: the dark secret of harvest home // miniseries is based off thomas tryon's 1973 novel
3x22: survive the night // could also be referencing the 2015 novel by danielle vega?

4x16: the locked room // the locked room by maj sjöwall & per wahlöö
4x18: lynchian // what the fuck yall know about david lynch
4x19: killing mr. honey // killing mr. griffin by lois duncan
5x3: graduation // i have some movie here but honestly it's probably just because well. it's the graduation episode
5x4: purgatorio // dante's purgatorio
5x5: homecoming // possibly the homecoming play by harold pinter
5x8: lock & key // locke & key comic books probably
5x15: return of the pussycats // well they sure returned!
