The 10 Most Pirated Movies

[Archiee]

1.Maze Runner: The Death Cure
Here's a sequel that almost didn't come out, and not because the first two movies didn't make a lot of money (because they did OK, out-earning their production budget, though they didn’t exactly become the new Hunger Games). The film was delayed by a year when star Dylan O'Brien got a head injury while shooting. But now it's here, and fans of the first two, or the books, should give it a look. If you haven't seen them, don't start here. Duh. Movie Bob at Geek.com was not impressed by this one or the previous two.
 

2.Den of Thieves
Also known in some places as Criminal Squad, this is all about cops "with no rules" lead by Gerard "Phantom of the Opera" Butler going up against a bunch of bank robbers like 50 Cent and Pablo Schreiber (he's Mad Sweeney on American Gods) as they plan to rob the Federal Reserve.

 

3. 12 Strong
With a cast that includes Chris "Thor" Hemsworth and Michael "Zod and most other bad guys" Shannon, it's a wonder 12 Strong wasn't a much bigger deal. Subtitled "The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers," it's about a bunch of Special Forces and CIA guys in Afghanistan following 9/11 who are looking to do some damage to the Taliban. Using horses, I guess. It doesn't come off as exciting as it sounds. At Geek.com, Movie Bob called it an "orgasmically patriotic 'Vengeance For 9/11' U.S. military infomercial from Jerry Bruckheimer." That is not a compliment.

4.The Commuter
Director Jaume Collet-Serra has had a good track record working with actor Liam Neeson on action flicks like Non-Stop and Unknown, so why stop? The Commuter has Neeson (stop me if you've heard this one) playing a former lawman trying to live a normal life who gets sucked into unusual circumstances involving threats against his family that only someone with his specific set of skills can fix.

5.The Greatest Showman
Looking for a new musical? Something like La La Land meets Moulin Rouge? Perhaps a highly fictionalized retelling of the launch of P.T. Barnum's career will do? Movie Bob at Geek.com did not like it, saying of the notorious con artist and sociopath that "Hugh Jackman plays him as a starry-eyed dreamer who’s enlightened ahead of his time about 'different people' ranging from his Human Oddities to interracial couples, and posits that his exploitation of them as attractions was a good thing because he helped them learn to love themselves by becoming famous." (The most fictional aspect of all: the real Barnum never came close to having Hugh Jackman's cheekbones and dance moves.)

 

6.Hostiles
With Christian Bale as an army captain in the Old West transporting Native American captives after fighting them for years, plus Rosamund Pike, Jesse Plemons, Wes Studi, and Ben Foster, Hostiles has a deep bench of talent. The writer/director is Scott Cooper, the guy who made Crazy Heart and Black Mass. It's a miracle it wasn't a bigger deal. But it wasn't. Still looks good though.

 

7.The Post
The story of The Washington Post dealing with Nixon and Watergate is pretty well-known thanks to All the President's Men. But The Post goes back in time a bit, as the very same newspaper struggled with whether it should publish the Pentagon Papers, which blew open secrets about how the United States handled the Vietnam War. This one is a must-watch—it was nominated for Best Picture and Meryl Streep was (of course) up for Best Actress for her portrayal of Post publisher Katharine Graham

 

8.Black Panther
This latest film in the MCU has only been out a few months, but it's already a film phenomenon and massive record-breaker, now officially bigger than Titanic. And Black Panther is a damn good superhero flick—Movie Bob at Geek.com calls it "an exceptional film" and "the best of its type since The Avengers." No wonder the world's army of movie pirates has jumped on downloading this HDTS copy (it's recorded in a movie theater but with the digital sound from the source).

 

9.Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Episode VIII hit with a bang last year and, as usual, put Star Wars fandom on the fence between fawning love and outright hatred. (SPOILERS FOLLOW) Some didn't like the fact that a certain Skywalker wasn't quite as heroic as expected after 30 years, or that Finn and his new friend Rose went on a weird tangent to Space Vegas, or that another Skywalker with a different name suddenly had some Force powers...never mind the slow-speed chase through space that took hours. Get past all that and you've got one of the best flicks in the galaxy far far away since—yeah, I'll say it—The Empire Strikes Back. In the words of Movie Bob and Tony the Tiger: "It's great!" If you're not looking forward to Episode IX now, you're lying.

 

10.Wildling
This little-known horror feature stars Brad "Oscar-winner and voice of Chucky" Dourif as an old guy keeping a girl named Anna locked in his attic to "protect" her from a thing called the wildling. After Ann is rescued by sheriff Liv Tyler, however, the truth starts to come out about who was really being protected.
