If Widows hit the spot, these will too

Common ground in both: heist and money

The same preoccupation in both: neo-noir
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: betrayal
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than Widows does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: neo-noir
The difference: Trades the play of Widows for an angle of its own


The same mix in both: stillness, then grit

Tense where it counts, atmospheric underneath

Playful drama, and it commits to that


Thriller with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: widow

Both lean on tension more than on drama
In the mood for more contemplative?
