How It Feels

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

A taut noir about a professional hitman stalking his female target through Los Angeles, where efficiency masks psychological unraveling. Spare and atmospheric, it's less about action than the mounting tension of a hunter losing control of the hunt.
