How It Feels

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

A sleek operational thriller that peels back layers of deception, where a carefully planned covert mission unravels into a web of double-crosses and hidden agendas. The film trades explosive action for psychological tension, asking whether the people giving orders are any better than those they pursue.
