Films like The Price of Power.

The Price of Power (1969) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured assassination / political, 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.
