How It Feels

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

A sleek techno-thriller where the near-future setting feels both plausible and menacing, as a cop races against time to stop a conspiracy that puts his own family in danger. The film balances intimate stakes with larger questions about technology spiraling beyond control.
