How It Feels

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

A pressurized chamber of male ego and mistrust that unfolds almost entirely in a single cramped space, where a small-time heist plan dissolves into psychological warfare and recrimination. The robbery itself barely matters, what matters is watching these men tear each other apart over respect and paranoia.
