If you loved Hard Times, try The Driver
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 Walter Hill, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hard Times, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Driver is
Chicago midnight. Headlights cutting through snow-glare on a Chevette’s grille. The Driver slides through exits unseen, always one corner ahead of the siren chorus. A detective stakes his badge on one last collar, trading pardons for a gang’s betrayal. Tight, mean streets where every turn feels like the last.
