How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A screwball collision between a bumbling vacuum salesman and a meticulous professional assassin at a seaside hotel, where mistaken identities and comic chaos threaten to derail a calculated murder. It's the kind of darkly funny British film that finds wild humour in life-or-death stakes.
