If you loved Pacto con la muerte, try El sabor de la muerte
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Barbet Schroeder, and they both carry the paranoid, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pacto con la muerte, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El sabor de la muerte is
Bronx, then. Steel-grey light, idling engine. A man wants out of the life, except the life won't let him: one last favor for a friend, a dangerous sociopath, and suddenly the man's doing hard time. Freedom comes with a catch; the law wants payback. Schroeder's late-period noir is a nasty piece of work.
