Films like Run, Man, Run.

Run, Man, Run (1968) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured spaghetti western / action, 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.
