Top 10 Shocking Political Thriller Movies

5. Munich

Munich is one of the most stark and anguished films that famed director Steven Spielberg has made. After 11 Israeli hostages were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group, Israel recruited five agents to exact revenge though officially, their existence is always denied. Though a nail-biting action movie, it also takes a brutal look at the political situation.



4.Syriana


For a movie that is considered one of the best geopolitical thrillers in recent times, it is surprising how everything is quietly understated – the acting, the dialogues and the settings. Yet the movie manages to convey very powerfully the complex nexus between oil and terrorism, profits and power.



3. JFK


While Kennedy’s assassination remains a highly emotional subject, it is also a controversial one making any movie based on it equally controversial. However, Oliver Stone brings great raw power to the story and tells it with such finesse that one starts to actually believe the theory of an alternate explanation.



2. The Manchurian Candidate

Though some believe it to be a bit of a reality stretch, many are impressed by the way this thriller captures the way money and power play their role in modern politics. The possibility of the country’s political future being determined in the way shown in the movie is both shocking and scary at the same time.
