How It Feels

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

A fantastical action-comedy that blends slapstick humor with genuine romantic tension as a mermaid assassin and a wealthy developer find themselves at odds, then irrevocably drawn to each other. It's a film that swings wildly between absurdist comedy and earnest emotional stakes, anchored by the chemistry between two people fighting on opposite sides.
