How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A noir-inflected thriller about a cop's suspicions hardening into certainty as those closest to him circle like predators. It's a claustrophobic descent into paranoia and rage, anchored by a protagonist whose paralysis becomes both literal prison and metaphor for powerlessness.
