If you loved The Saint, try Hardwired
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Hardwired has roughly 3.1× fewer votes than The Saint — 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 Ernie Barbarash, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Saint, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hardwired is
Rain slicks the neon-lit alleyway. A steel plate glints beneath Luke’s temple, syncing with a pulse that’s no longer his own. Corporate medics smile too wide, their implants humming a frequency only the test subjects hear. Like a Carpenter paranoid-tech thriller from the bargain bin, just leaner and less convinced of its own ideas.
