If you loved Desperate Hours, try Year of the Dragon
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 Michael Cimino, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Desperate Hours, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Year of the Dragon is
August heat on Canal Street. A revolver’s hammer clicks back, then clicks forward again, unloaded. White burns case files at night while a brass dragon whispers on Joey Tai’s desk. White’s wife leaves notes no one reads. White crumples them into his fist. Cimino wires paranoia like live current through a neon noir.
