Both circle corruption and heist

Robbery is the engine of both
The difference: A 1990s film, from a different era of filmmaking

The same preoccupation in both: heist

Both built around robbery

Gritty where it counts, tense underneath
The difference: None of the play that defines The Killing

Both keep circling back to gangster

Both trade on stillness more than on being crime

Playful thriller in both cases

Gangster sits at the heart of each

Both built around corruption

Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both built around adultery
