How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A smart, driven law student uncovers a dangerous conspiracy and becomes the hunted rather than the hunter. It's a slick, intelligent thriller that builds tension through revelation rather than spectacle.
