How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lurid noir where moral corruption spirals through a web of schemes and desire, where a paroled kleptomaniac becomes both weapon and wild card in a political assassination plot. The air never stops crackling with danger and temptation.
