How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut siege drama set in a remote Philippine outpost where vastly outnumbered soldiers dig in against relentless insurgent attacks. It's a straightforward military adventure with the grit of a wartime standoff, though its colonial perspective feels very much of its 1939 moment.
