If you loved Dog Eat Dog, try Dying of the Light
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 Paul Schrader, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dog Eat Dog, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dying of the Light is
Bucharest. Winter chill. A ticking clock. Evan Lake, forced into retirement, won't let it stand. Against orders, the ex-CIA operative tracks his old enemy, a terrorist believed to be dead. Obsession and a degenerative condition blur the line. Schrader’s world-weary thriller evokes the fatalism of Melville.
