Epic and kinetic in the same breath
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

One thread runs through both: secret mission
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: gold
The difference: Played as crime first

Tense adventure in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: martial arts
The difference: Lighter on tension

Action built on scale, twice over

The same preoccupation in both: assassin
The difference: Leans further into drama

Both are built on the same subject: villain

Thriller with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Tense adventure, and it commits to that

Both lean on scale more than on action

Thriller built on momentum, twice over
