How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A satirical romp through the morally bankrupt world of Cold War arms dealing, where cynical salesmen compete to arm a South American dictator with increasingly ridiculous weapons. It's a comedy that lands its punches on geopolitical hypocrisy by treating weapons trafficking as just another competitive business.
