How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hard-boiled police procedural where a dogged detective's pursuit of truth becomes a fight against institutional corruption at the highest levels. Gritty, fast-moving, and increasingly claustrophobic as the stakes escalate.
