2019 · Movie · R · your starting pointIf you want that interlocking-schemes-and-double-crosses energy with sharp dialogue and morally compromised protagonists, Hustle (2004) and King's Ransom (2005) probably deliver closest—both favor stylized crime capers where elaborate plots unravel with dark humor and calculated reversals. Billions trades the London underworld for high finance but nails the same ruthless one-upmanship and leverage-based warfare, while London Payback (2014) and All the Queen's Men (2021) offer similar nested schemes and cutthroat maneuvering across different criminal domains, though likely with less precision in pacing.
