Fans of Tom Hanks' 'Greyhound' Will Love This Underrated Cold War Thriller That's About to Leave Netflix




Before Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director, she spent decades in the Hollywood trenches making genre movies. Her films typically featured male protagonists, barring a few, of course. But even the outliers — Blue Steel, released in 1990, and the 2012 epic procedural Zero Dark Thirty, which was headlined by Jessica Chastain— featured women in a world dominated by men. Bigelow's latest release, the Netflix thriller A House of Dynamite, featured an ensemble cast with Rebecca Ferguson as one of the protagonists. However, the films with which she made her name all explored masculine themes. Even her Best Picture-winning The Hurt Locker was a story about men in the midst of war, an idea she'd examined in the early 2000s in arguably her most underrated movie.
