I would recommend The Prestige. It is more mystery than thriller, but it keeps your brain working the whole time. It has tension, rivalry and twists without relying on gore. It is also very rewatchable once you know the ending.
What should I watch if I want a smart thriller but not something too disturbing?

Answers & Discussion
The Game is a good middle ground. It is tense and strange, but not brutally violent like some darker thrillers. Michael Douglas sells the paranoia really well. Go in knowing as little as possible.
Knives Out is a great choice if you want a smart thriller without feeling awful afterward. It has suspense, twists and strong performances, but it is also fun. It scratches the mystery itch without becoming grim.
