10 'Georgetown' (2019)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 63%
Based on The New York Times Magazine article "The Worst Marriage in Georgetown," Georgetown is a fictionalized version of the murder of a 91-year-old socialite, played by Vanessa Redgrave. The culprit was her significantly younger husband, Ulrich Mott, in Washington D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood.
Georgetown sees Waltz playing the suspicious husband with equal parts charm and charisma yet cruelty and menace, spinning numerous lies almost no one can—or should—believe and donning an eyepatch he may or may not need. Georgetown also marks Waltz's feature directorial debut, and he is as comfortable behind the camera as he is in front of it.
