If The Friends of Eddie Coyle hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: gangster
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Peter Yates directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Lighter on stillness

Both land grit and stillness at once

The same preoccupation in both: gangster

Both lean on tension more than on crime
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1990s show

Gritty drama in both cases

Contemplative thriller, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans further into action

Crime with a pulse of tension, in both cases

Drama built on grit, twice over
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Tense thriller, and it commits to that

Contemplative crime, and it commits to that

Drama in the same key
