How It Feels

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

A dying criminal's final game of cat-and-mouse with a negotiator unfolds as a high-stakes thriller that's as much about terminal reckoning as it is about survival. The 72-hour countdown pulses with urgency while dwelling on the weight of time running out.
