If you loved True Confessions, try 8 Million Ways to Die
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 Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to True Confessions, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What 8 Million Ways to Die is
Los Angeles. Always. A coke spoon. An ex-sheriff's detective haunted by a drug-bust shootout and a subsequent spiral into booze now faces down a high-end madam and her smack-addled muscle. Ashby's neon-noir final film dives deep into the sun-blinded 80s.
