If The Thin Blue Line hit the spot, these will too

Death penalty and texas, at the center of both
The difference: A 2010s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Murder sits at the heart of each
The difference: Plays it as western more than The Thin Blue Line does

Crime built on grit, twice over

Gritty documentary, and it commits to that

Both trade on grit more than on being crime

The same preoccupation in both: investigation

Both keep circling back to murder

Crime approached the same way


Cut from the same crime cloth

Both are crime through and through

Crime approached the same way
In the mood for more gritty?
