How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut WWII raid film that follows a motley crew of commandos on an audacious kayak mission deep behind enemy lines. It's the kind of wartime thriller that values ingenuity and nerve over spectacle, building suspense through careful planning and grim determination.
