How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A snappy 1940s procedural where Dick Tracy unravels a fur coat heist and insurance scheme, propelled by the pulpy menace of a villain with a hook hand. It's briskly paced entertainment that knows its own comic-book origins and doesn't take itself too seriously.
