What we need are more films in the $30m-$70m region; art-house blockbusters. Superhero fatigue is real - what audiences really want is someone like Michael Mann in the 90s.

The blockbusters are such a huge part of the cultural landscape so that it’s easy to miss all the other film out there. But there’s really a lot of it!

For me, it's Michael Mann's 1981 Thief. Heat was good, but I feel like Thief had more soul.
Don't forget Manhunter, it's a bit slow-going for a modern definition of thriller but you can't get more 80s vibe than that.
