If you loved The Hit, try The Grifters
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 Stephen Frears, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hit, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Grifters is
You run a dial-a-deck romance scam from a shoebox motel room. Then your mother’s three-card Monte crew parks outside and your new squeeze walks in with a suitcase full of bearer bonds. The money’s already spent before you remember you never asked where it came from. Frears punctures American hustle with iridescent wides and a moral zero.
