How It Feels

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

A neo-noir crime thriller that slowly tightens the screws on an undercover cop caught between warring factions, exploring how deep infiltration corrodes the line between cop and criminal. The film watches with cool precision as its protagonist's world fractures under the weight of divided allegiances.

Reviews

The performances by both choi min sik and lee jung-jae and cinematography aren great but there isn't that noteworthy here.

Sometimes it does suck to have seen so many films but i've seen these tropes of long undercover cop getting tired of his post a lot of many times and its just not engaging.
