How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gripping, procedurally-driven hunt through New York's underworld where the cop pursuing the drug dealer becomes as morally compromised as his quarry. Rawly shot and relentlessly paced, it's a portrait of obsession where the line between law and crime blurs.
