How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A blackly comic crime saga where a desperate car salesman's ransom scheme spirals into genuine violence and tragedy, observed with clear-eyed sympathy by a pregnant police chief. It's funny and horrifying in equal measure, grounded in the mundane details of Midwestern life that make the brutality all the more shocking.

Reviews
I spent half of the movie thinking about how great Steve Buscemi is and the other half thinking I should buy Drop Dead Gorgeous on bluray, you betcha.
