The crime genre is one of the most universal niches of cinema, as there’s nothing more simultaneously attractive and repulsive than the high drama of a crime movie. Though every decade offers a unique perspective on the way crime develops and how people respond to it, the early 2000s was a particularly interesting period. With the influx of emerging technologies and the changing landscape of what could be shown onscreen, new doors were opening for all of film, but particularly crime movies. Whether they lean into the comedic aspects or the violent brutality, all of these films are memorable.
