Films like Reasonable Doubt.

Reasonable Doubt (2014) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured crime / thriller, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
