If The Mule hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: a true story


Gritty where it counts, contemplative underneath

Crime with a pulse of tension, in both cases

Gritty drama in both cases
The difference: Reviewed even better

One thread runs through both: drug mule

Both lean on stillness more than on thriller

Crime built on tension, twice over

Gritty drama, and it commits to that

Contemplative thriller in both cases

Another one that scratches it

Cut from the same drama cloth
