How It Feels

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

A lean, propulsive war film where a ragtag handful of soldiers must hold their ground against overwhelming odds in the unforgiving desert. Gritty and earnest, it's built on the kind of tight scenario where every tactical decision matters.
