How It Feels

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

A fish-out-of-water action-comedy where an unstoppable island farmer with no patience for bureaucracy takes on the mob and city authorities with fists first. It's a rollicking underdog adventure that revels in its own absurdity.
