If you loved The Spanish Prisoner, try Homicide
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 David Mamet, and they both carry the cerebral, paranoid mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Spanish Prisoner, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Homicide is
Baltimore precinct late autumn, a radio’s static. One case splits open another—codes on a synagogue wall, a name scribbled on a grocery list. A detective’s own language starts to fail him. Mamet’s dialectic thriller where words crack like ice underfoot.
