How It Feels

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

A taut thriller that traps you in a mother's escalating nightmare as she's forced to betray justice to protect her son from a mafia threat. The tension never lets up as she moves from coerced compliance to desperate resistance.
