How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, brutal examination of institutional corruption and moral compromise in Rio's favelas, where a special police unit tasked with eliminating drug dealers becomes entangled in its own machinery of violence. This is unflinching police procedural that treats its violence not as spectacle but as the natural outcome of systemic rot.
