If A Taxi Driver hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: a true story
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both land momentum and stillness at once

Action with a pulse of scale, in both cases

The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than A Taxi Driver does

Contemplative drama in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: a true story

Action built on scale, twice over

Kinetic drama, and it commits to that

Contemplative history, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into documentary than A Taxi Driver does

Both lean on scale more than on action

History of the same temperament
