If you loved The Italian Job, try The Negotiator
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 F. Gary Gray, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Italian Job, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Negotiator is
Chicago. Winter wind. A pistol shot. Framed for a partner's killing, police negotiator Danny Roman seizes an Internal Affairs unit, barricading himself inside. His demand: Another legendary negotiator, Chris Sabian, brought in to probe the department itself. Gray's work nods to 70s thrillers of rogue cops and systems in crisis.
