If 21 hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: friendship
The difference: Reviewed even better

The same mix in both: stillness, then grit

Drama built on warmth, twice over

Both lean on stillness more than on crime

The same preoccupation in both: friendship


Warm crime in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than 21 does

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both lean on grit more than on crime

A streak of warmth through both

The drama is handled with the same confidence
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

Crime approached the same way
In the mood for more contemplative?
