If Bullitt hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: police, the chase

Common ground: organized crime

Both are Peter Yates's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Trades the momentum of Bullitt for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: police

Both are built on the same subject: detective
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1980s show

The same preoccupation in both: organized crime
The difference: Takes it somewhere less kinetic than Bullitt does

Kinetic where it counts, gritty underneath

Both lean on tension more than on action
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both keep coming back to the same thing: detective

Kinetic crime in both cases

Thriller with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Action built on tension, twice over
In the mood for more kinetic?
