Both are working the same pair: jazz club, neo-noir

The same mix in both: stillness, then tension

One thread runs through both: black and white

The same preoccupation in both: neo-noir

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases

Atmospheric drama in both cases
In the mood for more contemplative?
