How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, procedural thriller that transforms a New York subway car into a pressure cooker where a hostage negotiation becomes a high-stakes game of wits between criminals and cops. It's a masterclass in escalating tension delivered with the gritty realism of 1970s crime cinema.
