How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy con artist stumbles into Congress and discovers the con is even bigger than he imagined. It's a glib, high-energy romp through the venality of American politics that doesn't ask too many difficult questions.
