Films like Creed — re-pass.

Creed — re-pass (2015) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured drama / sport, 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.
