How It Feels

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

A supremely confident action-comedy that pairs a cool, deadpan veteran with an enthusiastic wisecracking newcomer for maximum charisma. It's a ride that never takes itself seriously, finding genuine laughs and thrills in the absurdity of policing aliens in New York City.
