If you loved The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, try Matchstick Men

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

Theysit in Comedy / Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Matchstick Men is

Las Vegas, sweltering summer, a wheelchair on a balcony. A con artist and his protege rehearse a scam, a teenage girl walks in unannounced. Ridley Scott balances tone with precision.
