The first Captain America sequel brought the Russo brothers to the MCU in startling fashion with this surprisingly visceral homage to classic paranoia-laced 1970s spy thrillers. With a wealth of surprising twists, strong performances and intense action sequences, it remains one of the series' best and most intelligent movies.
