If Prisoners hit the spot, these will too

Denis Villeneuve working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the obsession of Prisoners for an angle of its own

Dread-soaked where it counts, tense underneath
The difference: Sits closer to western than Prisoners does

Both lean on obsession more than on drama

Dread-soaked thriller in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: neo-noir

Crime built on grit, twice over

Common ground: psychological thriller
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Tense thriller, and it commits to that

One thread runs through both: father

The same preoccupation in both: the investigation

Both are built on the same subject: the investigation

Common ground: detective
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft
