How It Feels

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

A globe-trotting spy adventure that embraces its own ridiculousness with winking charm, pitting Bond against a flamboyant hitman in a battle of stylish egos across exotic locales. It's less about saving the world than it is about two skilled antagonists locked in a contest of superior cool.
