If you loved The Hurt Locker, try Strange Days
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Strange Days has roughly 4.0× fewer votes than The Hurt Locker — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Kathryn Bigelow, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hurt Locker, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Strange Days is
Rain-soaked LA streets on New Year's Eve, a surveillance disc spinning, Lenny Nero's eyes locked on a murder scene, a prostitute's final moments, Mace by his side, they delve into a dark underworld. Kathryn Bigelow helms this cyberpunk thriller.
