If Vanguard hit the spot, these will too

Stanley Tong Gwai-Lai working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the scale of Vanguard for an angle of its own

Gritty where it counts, tense underneath
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Vanguard does

The same preoccupation in both: survival

Common ground in both: espionage and gun violence

Common ground: bodyguard
