Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.

David Mackenzie keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The western and crime blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
