How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulous cat-and-mouse thriller that unfolds with the precision of clockwork, following an unstoppable assassin and the detective determined to stop him through the streets and safe houses of 1960s Europe. It's a study in professional competence and inexorable tension rather than spectacle.
