Movies that feel like Hyena (2015)
Good policing doesn't necessarily mean doing everything by the book. But as the business of crime in London turns to favour the Albanians and Turks, how does a "good" policeman survive?
If you loved Hyena, the closest films we have are The Silence (2010), Mystery Road (2013) and Neighboring Sounds (2012). All three share Hyena's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Elize: Shadows of a Woman (2026).

Tense crime, and it commits to that
Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases
Thriller built on tension, twice over
Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Hyena does
Contemplative crime, and it commits to that
One thread runs through both: murder
Both are drama through and through
Common ground: cocaine
