As a huge coincidence, I saw on Letterboxd that David and I watched 8 millions ways to die on the same day.

And then, although I had already seen both movies before, I learned this fun bit of info: 8 Millions ways to die and A Walk among the Tombstones are adapted from the same series of books, written by Lawrence Block and following the detective Matthew Scudder.

Therefore, Jeff Bridges and Liam Neeson play the same character, respectively from the 5th and 10th novel of the series (and keeping the name in both cases). Although in 8 millions, the action is moved from New York to Los Angeles (and the images above clearly show that difference).

Anyway, for all you pulp detectives fans out there (although then I guess you already knew about that).
