How It Feels

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

A kinetic descent into temptation as a man trying to escape his criminal past finds the world he left behind relentlessly closing in. Stylish and propulsive, it's a neo-noir thriller that trades on the tension between reinvention and inevitability.
