How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hardboiled procedural where one honest cop stands against systemic mob corruption with grim determination. The film pulses with 1950s noir cynicism about the difficulty of fighting rot embedded in every institution.
