How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish noir heist that turns inward once the robbery succeeds, revealing how quickly ambition curdles into paranoia and violence. Slick setup gives way to something darker and more claustrophobic.
