Films like A Violent Prosecutor.

A Violent Prosecutor (2016) reads as Warm, breathless, measured crime / comedy, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
