If Hell or High Water hit the spot, these will too

Gritty and melancholy in the same breath
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Hell or High Water does

Both land tension and stillness at once

Crime with a pulse of grit, in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Melancholy drama in both cases


Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Takes it somewhere less tense than Hell or High Water does


Both lean on grit more than on crime
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft


Western built on melancholy, twice over

The same two preoccupations: brother, and bank robber
