Films like Blind Detective.

Blind Detective (2013) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured action / crime, inventive 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.
