How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lean, methodical cat-and-mouse thriller where a silent professional driver and obsessed cop circle each other through Los Angeles's neon-soaked underbelly. It's a study in control and countercontrol, where every move breeds consequence.
