Movies that feel likeEasy Money (2010)

When JW becomes a drug runner in order to maintain his double life, his fate becomes tied to two other men: Jorge, a fugitive on the run from both the Serbian mafia and the police, and mafia enforcer Mrado, who is on the hunt for Jorge.

If you loved Easy Money, the closest films we have are The Silence (2010), Neighboring Sounds (2012) and Hyena (2015). All three share Easy Money's contemplative and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Mystery Road (2013).
