If The Lives of Others hit the spot, these will too

Both land stillness and tension at once

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: Easier on the stillness than The Lives of Others

Two things both keep coming back to: cold war and soviet union

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Contemplative drama in both cases

Thriller built on tension, twice over

Both are drama through and through

The thriller is handled with the same confidence


Both working the same thriller territory


Thriller of the same temperament
