Bruising crime-world combat where one man is buried deep undercover
The difference: Far more graphic — relentless gore with no superhero remove

Both land momentum and grit at once

An outgunned lawman making a stand as a criminal army rolls in
The difference: Cheerfully pulpy — a B-movie shootout with zero brooding


Kinetic crime, and it commits to that

Thriller with a pulse of grit, in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

A city held hostage by a mastermind while one man works the crisis
The difference: One subway car, not a metropolis — talky standoff over spectacle

An unstoppable operative, secret identities and slick urban carnage
The difference: Videogame-hollow — comfortably the weakest film on this list


Both lean on momentum more than on crime

Thriller built on grit, twice over

Action with a pulse of tension, in both cases
