How It Feels

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

A wickedly funny noir romance where two hit people fall genuinely in love while trapped in a world that treats murder as casually as business. The film plays the absurdity of their devotion against the cold logic of the mafia, creating something both romantic and deeply ironic.
