A thriller set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically one of the most violent years in the city's history, and centered on the lives of an immigrant and his family trying to expand their business and capitalize on opportunities as the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burn descent into moral compromise as an immigrant's legitimate business ambitions collide with the violent corruption of 1980s New York. The city itself becomes a predatory force, tightening incrementally until no clean path remains.
