How It Feels

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

A smartly written crime comedy that finds humor and frustration in the gap between street-level cops and desk-bound bureaucrats. It's both sharp critique and warm ensemble comedy, anchored by a friendship tested by competing loyalties.
