Films like Family Business.

Family Business (1989) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured crime / family, 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.
