How It Feels

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

A high-octane thriller that rides the line between law enforcement duty and seductive outlaw philosophy. Propulsive action sequences crash against intimate moments of moral temptation as an undercover agent becomes dangerously drawn into the charismatic world of his targets.

He threw a dog at him during a chase?!

I just saw this for the first time tonight during a RiffTrax Live theater event. I didn't like it. I do usually like "so bad they're good" action movies, so I wonder if the RiffTrax guys making jokes replaced the fun I would have had making jokes. Then instead of having fun with Point Break, any fun was credited to RifdTrax instead.
