Films like Running Out of Time.

Running Out of Time (1994) reads as Heavy, kinetic, extreme thriller / drama, 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.
