If you loved The Cotton Club, try Harlem Nights
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
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Cotton Club, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Harlem Nights is
Eddie Murphy directs Eddie Murphy in a film that certainly happened. A Harlem club owner and his associate contend with mobsters and crooked cops in 1938. It's not exactly Scorsese, but people seemed to have fun.
