How It Feels

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

A hard-boiled descent into the underworld where a washed-up cop must navigate criminal desperation and his own demons to save his kidnapped son. Morally murky and relentlessly taut, this B-movie noir doesn't let you off easy.
