Films like Forbidden City Cop.
Forbidden City Cop (1996) reads as Cosy, breathless, measured comedy / period, inventive 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.
