Does anyone know any movies where the character dynamic is similar to Hannibal(2001), Hijacked (2012) and Leatherface(2017) where the male character is a bad guy and could kill the female character but chooses not to and there is potentially some romance sprinkled in. It's similar to the power imbalance trope and the Stockholm syndrome trope but I find the suggestions in there don't quite cover what I'm looking for, bonus points if it includes a switching of the roles e.g. Hannibal being a prisoner and Clarise being an FBI agent but then when he escapes and drugs her the balance of power is shifted, or in Leatherface where when Lizzy and Jackson meet she is in the position of power as the nurse but then when the asylum is overtaken by lunatics, the power shifts to Jackson yet he decides to make it his mission to protect her when he could have killed her instead. Thanks in advance:)))
