How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive true-story escape drama that treats its protagonist's cunning and determination with respect rather than judgment. It's a lean, intelligent war film that builds genuine suspense around ingenuity and grit.
