How It Feels

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

A desperate race against the clock where a flawed journalist confronts both the death penalty's irreversibility and his own complicity through recklessness. It's a taut moral thriller that uses the ticking clock to excavate questions about who deserves saving and whether one good act can balance a life of carelessness.
