How It Feels

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

A lean, high-stakes rescue mission set in the chaos of 1980s Beirut, where two men navigate a war-torn city with nothing but cash and desperation. The film trades dialogue for mounting pressure, building toward an outcome that feels genuinely uncertain.
