If you loved Deathtrap, try Prince of the City

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 Sidney Lumet, and they both carry the dread, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Deathtrap, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Prince of the City is

Manhattan, late summer. A ringing phone. Detective Ciello makes a devil's bargain with the Feds, promising to expose dirty cops. Soon, a labyrinth of crooked deals and compromised loyalties ensnares him. Lumet's long, morally complex police procedural echoes classic Greek tragedy.
