If you loved Serenity, try Manhattan Night

What they share
Theysit in Drama / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Serenity, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Manhattan Night is
Mid-December Manhattan. A raw wind rips a discarded theater ticket from a subway grate. Porter Wren trades morning coffee for crime scene photos and evening family dinners for whispered leads about a dead filmmaker’s wife. Caroline’s emerald ring taps a glass twice before mentioning blackmail. A sharp little noir sunlight, circa 1990.
