The National Board of Review knows what it likes when it comes to awards movies — and on Tuesday, its 2015 priorities boiled down to action, adrenaline and adventure.
Maybe they tipped us off last year, when they surprisingly named “A Most Violent Year” the top film of 2014 — but to go by the list that was announced on Tuesday morning, 2015 is really the NBR’s most violent year.
In addition to naming “Mad Max: Fury Road,” George Miller‘s continuation of his “Mad Max” franchise, the year’s best film, the board picked “Creed,” “The Hateful Eight,” “Sicario” and “Straight Outta Compton” for its top ten, showing a real fondness for muscular filmmaking.
