How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut noir thriller about a man's desperate gamble with an assassin that spirals catastrophically out of control. It's a claustrophobic race against time punctuated by creeping dread and ironic reversals.
