How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slick, sexually charged thriller that keeps you guessing whether its manipulative protagonist is guilty or a victim of circumstance. It's a cat-and-mouse game heavy on eroticism and psychological games, designed to make you complicit in a cop's dangerous attraction.
