How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A swashbuckling ancient-Egyptian action romp that trades narrative subtlety for spectacle and charm. It's built on broad heroics, sword-and-sorcery thrills, and a star who commits fully to the mythic warrior fantasy.
