How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish action thriller where a prisoner turned government assassin navigates the razor's edge between her manufactured identity and her humanity, finding unexpected connection along the way. It's sleek, morally murky, and propelled by a protagonist who's fighting for autonomy as much as she is for her life.
