How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gleefully unhinged treasure hunt across 1930s Manchuria that treats the Western formula like a playground, anarchic, propulsive, and bursting with inventive action sequences that prioritize spectacle and wit over coherence.
