Nemesis

A car wreck allows a fugitive recovery agent's serial killer prisoner to escape into the wilderness, so she's forced to pursue him. The other driver involved finds the agent while lost in the woods and initially, the female stranger's presence complicates matters, but when the agent suspects her involvement wasn't by chance, the killer intervenes, revealing they were working together as killer and cleaner. They capture the agent, but she escapes. The agent eventually manipulates and regains some control of the situation, setting the stage for a fatal confrontation.

Directed by Carl Joglar, Nemesis leans on a strong ensemble — Colleen Slattery, Sarah Villegas, Nicholas Wilder — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2017.
