How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic political thriller locked aboard a sleeper train, where a detective must identify an assassin among passengers while the clock ticks toward Lincoln's arrival in Washington. It's a cat-and-mouse game wrapped in period intrigue and historical stakes.
