If you loved Empire State, try Riff Raff
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Riff Raff has roughly 6.3× fewer votes than Empire State — 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 Dito Montiel, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Empire State, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Riff Raff is
The old hitman trope gets another holiday workout. Turns out, the quiet life isn't all that when your family shows up with a mob of their own on their tail. At least the film delivers on the promise of riffs and raffs.
