How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A procedural thriller that's equally invested in the murder case and the fraught dynamic between a detective and the military commander he once clashed with, especially now that they're competing over the colonel's daughter. It's a confident 80s actioner that makes interpersonal friction as much the point as the mystery.
