@ExtremeBogom Delete that "one of" if you talk about thrillers. :) Just Se7en, Zodiac and few others can be compared to it. :)

@qwuezalothus Actually Nolan is a hero we need not a hero we deserve. So he is more like Harvey Dent.

@Crimson11100 You can find fault in his female characters, saying that he is still one of my favorite film makers alive
