How It Feels

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

A lean, propulsive noir about a career criminal trying to escape his past, only to find the world has no mercy for men like him. Bleak and fatalistic, with an unexpected tenderness beneath the bullets and double-crosses.
