Super underrated movie, gritty slow burn, great performances:
Freddy Got Fingered
Aside from the other movies already mentioned, check out The American (2010). It's an underrated slow burn crime thriller set in Italy.I saw the thread where people were talking about Hell or High Water, Wind River and Sicario (seen all 3 already) and I was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions of movies that are a little similar to these. I want something serious, something gritty, slow burn, etc, I'm sure you guys get what I mean based on the 3 films I already named.
Anybody? @shadow_priest_x, you're the movie man around here, you got any ideas? @Dragonlordxxxxx, too, any ideas? Anybody else?

You should watch Inside Man if you haven’t seen it. Pretty awesome flick. And I just watched it again tonight.
What a lot of people miss when watching it is at the end, when Denzel returns to his apartment to find his brother in law passed out on the sofa, the malt liquor his brother in law was drinking is in the coffee table. It’s “The Bomb,” which is the malt liquor they advertise in the movie Bamboozled.
Best opening scene of any movie ever/Have you seen Way of the Gun?
This is your movie. It's great and sounds like it's along the lines of what you're looking for. Go watch it, like, right now.
But I'll give you a few back up my back-up suggestions, if you haven't seen them. I wouldn't really say they are similar to the films you've mentioned, but they're definitely solid watches.
And Michael Bay's most underrated film:
13 Hours is a fucking awesome movie
Yeah, I wish I could get more people on-board with this idea, but very few people have actually seen it.
I think most people took one look at the trailer and saw "From director Michael Bay" and said no, no chance, forget about it.
Yeah people, well and me in occasions, talk shit about Michael Bay, but his style makes for good action movies, and when he actually has good actors and a decent script like in 13 Hours he can make the best action flick out there, Jim from the Office was great and well basically everybody nailed it
