How It Feels

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

A cynical, propulsive buddy thriller where two broken men with nothing to lose tear through layers of high-level corruption in Los Angeles. It's brutish and darkly funny, built on snappy dialogue and the chemistry between its morally compromised leads.
