How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grim descent into a botched revenge plot that spirals into chaos, where an ordinary man discovers he's wholly unprepared for the violence he's chosen. Taut and unflinching, it treats vengeance not as catharsis but as a trap with no exit.
