If Black Mass hit the spot, these will too

The same hand behind both of them: Scott Cooper
The difference: Sits closer to western than Black Mass does

Two things both keep coming back to: fbi and a true story

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

The same mix in both: stillness, then grit

Both lean on scale more than on drama

Gritty crime, and it commits to that
The difference: Trades the stillness of Black Mass for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: fbi
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are built on the same subject: gangster

Common ground: corruption
The difference: 42 years apart, and the 1970s show

Contemplative history in both cases
The difference: Leans harder into action than Black Mass does

Drama built on scale, twice over

Crime with a pulse of grit, in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Black Mass does
In the mood for more contemplative?
