Common ground: revenge
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Both are built on the same subject: revenge
The difference: Trades the stillness of The Punisher for an angle of its own

The same mix in both: momentum, then grit

Contemplative where it counts, relentless underneath
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than The Punisher does

Gritty crime, and it commits to that

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft


Both lean on relentlessness more than on crime

Kinetic action in both cases

Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: neighbor

Both lean on relentlessness more than on action
