If Django Unchained hit the spot, these will too

Tarantino revenge served with style and buckets of blood
The difference: Martial-arts pastiche — pure genre adrenaline

A wronged settler gunning down the men his town won't fight
The difference: Stripped Danish western — grim and terse, no swagger or talk

Grief hardening into a demand for justice by any means
The difference: Justice fails in slow motion first — vengeance arrives without joy

An outsider adopted into a brotherhood built on violence
The difference: Football-firm tribalism — scrappy fists, no myth-making

Violence and racism festering under everyday surfaces
The difference: A grubby Copenhagen miniature — no catharsis, no showmanship

A western that makes you feel the weight of every killing
The difference: Sombre and guilt-ridden — no satisfaction in the payoff

A quiet protector uncorking violence for someone he owes
The difference: Grim Korean thriller — style without the wit or swagger

Stylized violence wrapped around a code of honor
The difference: Neon minimalism — silence instead of speeches

Common ground: revenge
The difference: Easier on the warmth than Django Unchained

A punishing Texas journey where authority curdles into tyranny
The difference: A classic cattle-drive saga — black-and-white and blood-light

A small man pushed until submission turns to reckoning
The difference: Quiet Italian realism — his revenge is desperate, not heroic

One act of decency igniting a beautifully staged war of revenge
The difference: Sleek Korean noir cool in place of gunslinger showmanship
