How It Feels

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

A ruthless lawyer's desperate attempt to cover up assault spirals into a web of murder-for-hire and betrayal, where the consequences of his actions bind him to a stranger who is actually his own son. It's a taut thriller about how far corruption can reach before it collapses under its own weight.
