We're in the middle of May and on the cusp of several huge releases to the caretaker during the summer season. If you're looking for a trio of blood-curdling, adrenaline-pumping, heart-wrenching thrillers to get you through this year's summer movies, you've come to the right place.

This month's picks include Todd Haynes' 2019 legal thriller based on real-life events, an explosive action thriller starring Scott Adkins, and a steamy neo-noir featuring a charismatic performance by a young Jeff Bridges.
