If you loved Criminal Law, try Street Smart
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
Theysit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Criminal Law, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Street Smart is
Manhattan night. Distant sirens. A typewriter clacking. Journalist makes up a pimp for a story. The fiction too closely resembles an actual, dangerous man facing trial. Soon the writer is caught between the law and the streets. Schatzberg’s late-period crime films have a bitter aftertaste.
