How It Feels

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

A frenetic blend of high-stakes gambling thrills and slapstick comedy, where a genius card player's amnesia-induced regression becomes the setup for chaotic buddy-film hijinks. It's the kind of movie that shifts tonally from tense card-game confrontations to pratfalls without apology.
