Films like The Seventh Bullet.

The Seventh Bullet (1972) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured action / western, 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.
