Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
Death on the Nile (2022) stuck because it commits to its mystery premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Kenneth Branagh's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The mystery and crime blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.

Wild at Heart (1990) is the natural next step after Death on the Nile: same crime DNA, different perspective. The dark streak and thriller elevate it well above a simple genre exercise.
