3. Sin City (2005): Visually stark, noir‑stylised cityscape that feels like the song’s electric darkness.
4. Peaky Blinders (2013): Post‑war Birmingham’s cut‑throat gangs echo the track’s rebellious, under‑belly vibe.
5. The Night Of (2016): A tense, urban crime drama that drips with the same uneasy intrigue and moral ambiguity.
6. Baby Driver (2017): Music‑driven crime caper that blends rhythm with high‑stakes thrills, matching the song’s kinetic energy.
