Films like Police Force.

Police Force (1973) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured crime / shaw-brothers, 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.
