How It Feels

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

A grinding, morally dark thriller about institutional failure and personal vengeance, where a young cop's righteous fury curdles into something more dangerous. It's a film that watches like a slow descent into the abyss, unsparing about the costs of operating outside the law.
