If Bullitt hit the spot, these will too

San Francisco shapes both of them

Common ground: organized crime

Both are built on the same subject: detective
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1980s show

Both are Peter Yates's work, and they rhyme
The difference: None of the momentum Bullitt is built on

The same preoccupation in both: police
The difference: Not nearly as kinetic as Bullitt

One thread runs through both: police

Kinetic where it counts, gritty underneath

Both keep coming back to the same thing: detective

Both lean on tension more than on action
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Kinetic crime, and it commits to that

Both are built on the same subject: organized crime

Thriller with a pulse of grit, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Bullitt does
