Films like The Divine Move.

The Divine Move (2014) reads as Sombre, breathless, extreme action / crime, 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.
