"Extraordinary Suspects"
Director: Brian Singer
Starring: Steven Baldwin / Gabriel Byrne / Kevin Spacey

An almost seamless lie, a wonderful deception, a Kevin Spacey's canonized work.
It completely subverts the audience's inertial logical thinking, and shoots a story with a complex plot full of tension, which is gripping from beginning to end.
The Hong Kong film "Peerless" starring Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok is very similar in structure to it.

Inception

Six robbers who did not know each other, were ambushed by the police when robbing the jewelry store, and several people who did not know each other began to be jealous of each other, and the development of the matter completely deviated from the preset track.
The debut of ghost director Quentin truly and objectively reflects Quentin's maverick film style: complex gangster characters, strong violent aesthetics, humorous and funny film lines, and unique narrative methods.
This movie is the real source of the phrase "I'm sorry, I'm a cop."

Die Hard 3
Directed By: John McTiernan

In order to defuse the bomb planted by the terrorist Simon in New York, Sheriff John McAllen had to go back and forth, exhausted, and after many deaths, he finally discovered the truth behind Simon's mobilization of the city's police force...
There are five episodes in the Die Hard series, and I personally like this one the most, the scenes are hot, the fights are exciting, and the IQ questions in it are also particularly interesting.
For example, Simon gave McAllen 2 bottles, one can hold 5 liters of water, one can only hold 3 liters, you must use these 2 bottles to fill 4 liters of water on the box, otherwise, the bomb in the box will explode!
If you're McAllen, what should you do? I hope everyone can use their brains to think about it, because it is a pleasure to think.

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, which once dominated the New York Times novel list for eight weeks...
David. Finch is one of my favorite directors, and "Vanishing Lover" is also very highly rated, but I still feel that compared to his previous works such as "Fight Club", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Social Network", this film still has a certain gap.
Classic line: Adults will fight hard, adults will make efforts, and adults will bear the consequences.

"The Amazing Demon Bandit"
Director: Louis Letryl

Runtime: 115 min / 125 min(Extended Version)
This is a magic crime film, telling the story of a group of highly intelligent thieves, using cutting-edge technology and gorgeous stage as a cover, in full view of the public to complete the theft of the day.
Frankly speaking, what attracts me more than their criminal methods is their magic tricks, imagination and seamless cooperation, which makes people can't help but be amazed.
Classic Line: What is Magic? Magic is an illusion, but an illusion is meant to bring joy, entertainment, and inspiration to people.
It's about faith, belief, trust, and without these attributes, magic is no longer an art.

The Eleven Arhats
Director: Steven Soderbergh

Runtime: 116 minutes
A remake of the same name from 1960, it tells the story of super thief Danny Oceanion who, in order to regain his wife, Tess, gathers eleven insiders to rob the casino of his rivals overnight.
The series consisted of three films, often classified as high-IQ crime films, and later spawned a female version of Eleven Arhats, also known as "The Hidden Sky: Beauty Plan".
However, this series is actually not very logical, and their selling point is that the big names are gathered, the stars are gathered, the men and women are beautiful, and the humor is funny.
Classic line: Speak clearly, but not too deeply; be humorous, but don't make the other person laugh, then the other person will like it, and when you turn around it will forget you.
PS
In fact, there are many high-IQ crime movies that can be classified as high-IQ crime movies, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "First Level Fear", "Catch that Guy", "Law-abiding Citizen", "Horror Live", "Instinct", "I Am a Murderer", "Prosecution Witness", "Chainsaw Horror", "Invisible Guest", "Peerless" and so on.
