I like to think the entire John Wick franchise is inspired by the club scene in this movie.
Collateral
The Killer
A slow methodical assassin thriller done in a way only David Fincher could do.
The Killer
Rocky III
The Rocky movie that has pretty much set the template for every Rocky movie since.

Downsizing
A cool concept that unfortunately never is anything more than that. Plot and script meander for too long and the movie feels like it lacks purpose.

Get the Gringo
An over the stop action thriller in which Mel Gibson shines.

The Campaign
Funny enough movie, but a main plot point is H-1B visas. They just call it insourcing, and make it literal Chinese sweat shop labor. Instead of the unqualified Indian tech workers that we see today. Well done to whoever snuck that in there back in 2012.
The Christmas Carol reimagined in the 1980s with Murray as the star hits all the usual beats while adding lots of comedy to the story.
Scrooged
One Battle After Another
Once you get past the ANTIFA propaganda you get a well made movie with a very middling script and some great performances. Sean Penn plays a psychopath pretty well, probably helps that he is a psychopath. Leo tries to carry this movie by himself but he’s not in enough of it to do so. Overall some good moments but underwhelming for the hype this movie received.
