If After Hours hit the spot, these will too

Both are Martin Scorsese films, and they rhyme

Witty and playful in the same breath

Tense where it counts, contemplative underneath
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

New York City shapes both of them

Witty comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: A 2010s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Playful thriller in both cases
The difference: Leans action where After Hours does not

Martin Scorsese directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Plays it as crime more than After Hours does

Drama built on tension, twice over

Comedy with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both trade on wit more than on being thriller

Both trade on dream logic more than on being drama
