If Charley Varrick hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: grit, then tension

Contemplative and melancholy in the same breath

Two things both keep coming back to: small town life and suicide
The difference: 47 years apart, and the 2020s show

The same preoccupation in both: new mexico

Gritty crime, and it commits to that
The difference: Takes it somewhere less tense than Charley Varrick does


Both keep coming back to the same thing: hitman


Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Melancholy crime in both cases

In the mood for more gritty?
