10 Better Movies That Were Secretly Hidden In Films

Though Solo: A Star Wars Story failed to make much of a dent at the box office, it was a pretty good movie, despite the fact that few were clamouring for an origin story to demystify Han Solo's (Alden Ehrenreich) early life.

By far the strongest aspect of Solo is its early vibe as a big-budget sci-fi heist film, where the focus is trained on a high-wire hold-up and the limelight is frequently stolen away from Han by his mentor Tobias Beckett, played with gritty glee by Woody Harrelson.

Ditching all the desperation to tie the story to the wider Star Wars mythos and just focusing on Beckett and his gang dealing with the galaxy's criminal underworld - namely the Crimson Dawn syndicate - would've been plenty material for a nicely self-contained spin-off.

Obviously Disney would've never given "Beckett: A Star Wars Story" a $300 million budget, but in purely artistic terms, Han Solo ended up being perhaps the least interesting and appealing part of his own movie, despite a fair effort from Ehrenreich to bottle Harrison Ford's spirit.
