If you loved Mona Lisa, try The Crying Game

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 Neil Jordan, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mona Lisa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Crying Game is

Belfast. Summer dusk. A cricket ball. Kidnapped soldier and his IRA guard: unlikely friends. A promise made. London calls. The guard flees, finds the lover, but old comrades appear, brandishing guns, testing loyalties. Jordan’s sensibility elevates this above standard thriller fare.
