How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sophisticated spy thriller that balances intellectual pursuits with high-stakes action, anchored by vertiginous mountain sequences and the friction between a man's cultured civilian life and his lethal past. The film treats both climbing and espionage with technical precision, creating an oddly meditative tension beneath the surface plotting.
