How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wisecracking action-comedy where Eddie Murphy stumbles through a mystical quest he doesn't believe in, mixing laugh-out-loud one-liners with genuine action sequences and dark fantasy stakes. It's a film that knows how to balance cynicism with sincerity, never taking itself too seriously even when the danger feels real.
