How It Feels

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

A race-against-the-clock thriller where an ordinary man must untangle a web of murder and deception before the poison coursing through his veins runs out of time. It's suspenseful and twisty, built on the pressure of an irrevocable countdown.
