Films like The Glass Agency.

The Glass Agency (1998) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured drama / war, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
