How It Feels

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

An aging gunfighter and a worn-down sheriff team up to defend a family against a ruthless rancher in a sun-baked Texas town. It's a leisurely, character-driven western that trades moral complexity for the simple pleasure of watching old friends watch each other's backs.
