If you loved The Satan Bug, try McQ
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 John Sturges, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Satan Bug, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What McQ is
Rain-slicked patrol cars outside a dockside dive, two a.m. A lieutenant spots his partner’s badge on a dealer’s table. The badge leads him to a stolen-cop .38, then a stash of seized heroin, then names on a blue sheet that point back to his own squad. Sturges channels Bullitt in trench coats and lies.
