Films like Endangered Species.

Endangered Species (2021) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured thriller / action, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
