How It Feels

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

A psychological cat-and-mouse game where a man with godlike power wages war against those he deems unworthy, while brilliant detectives close in from the shadows. Watching feels like being trapped in an escalating game of chess where the rules keep shifting and no one's hands are clean.
