How It Feels

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

A spare, efficient Japanese noir that follows a professional hitman through the machinations of rival gang bosses with cool detachment and sudden bursts of violence. The film moves with the precision of its protagonist, all business and no sentiment.

Reviews

nicolascagegoons

A crime thriller that can be both quiet and melodramatic which isn't new for the genre but I like it here a lot even when not all of the character pieces fit perfectly. Its a solid little action flick that if done right could be improved.
There is a lot of qeustion that could be asked within its framework on the genre of hitman films but for now, this is doing it. The camera isn't always enticing but its flashy when it needs to be.
