How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grieving man's rage calcifies into action as he transforms from victim to predator on New York's streets. It's a grim, propulsive descent into vigilantism that asks whether justice and violence are the same thing.
