How It Feels

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

A meticulously crafted procedural where a morally compromised fixer unravels a web of corporate corruption and personal complicity. It's less about plot momentum than the creeping realization of how far one man has strayed from his own conscience.
