How It Feels

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

A darkly clever thriller that unfolds with the precision of a shell game, constantly pulling the rug out from under you as it teases toward a twist that recontextualizes everything you've seen. It's tense and playful at once, a film that knows it's a film, winking at you while the body count rises.

It's nice to be out of Josh Hartnett's bad hair era.

Lucky Number Slevin is a little convoluted, but I don't mind. Josh Hartnett is my favorite, and Lucy Lui brings an adorable energy. I'm into it.
