Films like True Legend.

True Legend (2010) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured action / fantasy, inventive in texture. Redemptive, 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.
