How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tautly constructed heist noir where a botched robbery quickly spirals into paranoia and betrayal as the gang fractures under pressure. The widow's quiet pursuit of vengeance adds a layer of moral reckoning to the brutality.
