How It Feels

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

A noir heist where meticulous planning and technical execution clash with the messier human motivations underneath, jealousy and wounded pride prove deadlier than any rival gang. The film moves with deliberate control until its final, tragic spiral.
