If Falling Down hit the spot, these will too

Joel Schumacher working the same nerve twice

Joel Schumacher directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Falling Down does

Both land grit and stillness at once

Tense crime, and it commits to that


Thriller built on stillness, twice over

Both are built on the same subject: detective

Both lean on tension more than on crime

Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Same instincts, 9 years apart

From the 2000s, and it lands the same way
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both know what they want from drama
