How It Feels

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

A taut con-artist thriller that plays a high-wire game between a hostage negotiation on a hotel ledge and a diamond heist happening in plain sight below. The film thrives on misdirection and building toward its central twist, you're constantly trying to outsmart what you're actually watching.
