If you loved Running on Empty, try Serpico
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 Sidney Lumet, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Running on Empty, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Serpico is
New York streets, rainy nights, a lone saxophone. A cop's badge collects dust, a whistle blows, comrades turn cold. Lumet shoots the system with a documentarian's eye.
