If Widows hit the spot, these will too

Common ground in both: heist and money

Both are working the same pair: betrayal, neo-noir
The difference: Not nearly as gritty as Widows

The same preoccupation in both: neo-noir
The difference: None of the play Widows is built on

One thread runs through both: heist
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Contemplative where it counts, gritty underneath

Tense and atmospheric in the same breath

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Crime built on play, twice over

Common ground: widow


Tense drama, and it commits to that

Both lean on atmosphere more than on crime
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly
In the mood for more contemplative?
