How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A maximalist action spectacle that mines genuine emotional stakes from a high-concept premise: two men literally trading lives, each becoming what they despise. Woo unleashes baroque gunplay and operatic intensity to explore what identity means when it can be peeled away.
