Immaculate stunt work and a chase that keeps escalating across the map
The difference: Bigger and busier — plot machinery instead of quiet, mournful beats

A hardened man facing death in the cold with nothing left to protect
The difference: Stripped to survival — no gadgets, no glamour, no institution

Chain-of-command tension where one mistake could end everything
The difference: A submarine procedural — no tux, no gadgets, all protocol

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Tense action in both cases

Adventure with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Old pros doing dangerous work because it is all they know how to do
The difference: Cheerfully dumb and disposable — no melancholy, no craft

Spycraft with a period sheen and a taste for lavish carnage
The difference: Tonally all over the place — arch and silly, never controlled

Both lean on scale more than on thriller
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Action built on tension, twice over

Kinetic adventure, and it commits to that

Epic thriller, and it commits to that
