If you loved Collateral, try Thief
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Thief has roughly 7.6× fewer votes than Collateral — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Michael Mann, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Collateral, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Thief is
Back-alley neon buzzing, winter 81. A paper sack of cut stones changing hands in a Pontiac’s backseat. A thief trades the drill’s hiss for a house with white pickets. The city hums buy-or-die behind every deal. Like Altman’s California gone wrong, style is the only currency left.
