How It Feels

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

A grimy, atmospheric hitman thriller set against the glitter of Christmas-time New York, where a killer's carefully laid plans unravel through intimate, haunting character moments. The film feels intimate and claustrophobic despite its urban setting, building dread through silence and the mundane details of a man trying to complete one final job.
