How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A straightforward superhero origin story with the earnest sincerity of 1970s television, where a wronged man gains extraordinary powers to fight corruption and uncover the truth behind his father's death. It's propulsive and sincere, leaning into the pulp adventure spirit without irony.
