How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally tangled noir where a wounded criminal's attempt to protect those he loves spirals into destruction, watched through the eyes of a cop caught between friendship and duty. The city itself feels like a trap from which no one escapes clean.
