How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive 80s action thriller about a maverick cop taking on systemic corruption with his fists and his conscience. It's high-octane wish fulfillment wrapped in kung-fu combat and righteous fury.
