If you loved City Hall, try Mercury Rising

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Harold Becker, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to City Hall, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mercury Rising is

A Washington hotel room, autumn rain, a payphone rings. A rogue agent and a young autistic boy are on the run, the code is broken, danger closes in. Becker grounds high stakes in a small unlikely bond.
