What they share

Theysit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to No Country for Old Men, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

London streets at dusk, a briefcase full of cash. A midlevel drug dealer navigates underworld politics, a complex web of alliances and rivalries. Vaughn delivers a stylishly frenetic take on British crime.
