How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A janitor's infatuation with a reporter entangles them both in genuine danger when he pretends to know more about a murder than he does. It's a taut thriller that uses romantic tension and mounting dread to keep you off-balance.
