Films like Almost Human.

Almost Human (1974) reads as Heavy, breathless, extreme poliziotteschi / crime, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
