How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy, low-budget action thriller where a young mariachi musician gets caught in a deadly game of mistaken identity. It's lean, propulsive, and charged with the kinetic energy of a filmmaker working with everything to prove.
