Films like The November Man.

The November Man (2014) reads as Heavy, breathless, extreme crime / action, 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.
