If The Young and the Damned hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white

One thread runs through both: black and white

Gritty drama in both cases
The difference: Trades the stillness of The Young and the Damned for an angle of its own

Both are built on the same subject: juvenile delinquent

Crime built on grit, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to western than The Young and the Damned does

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Crime with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both lean on grit more than on drama


Crime built on stillness, twice over
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft
