How It Feels

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

A hitman caught between two worlds, the violent underworld that won't release him and the promise of a fresh start with a woman he loves, races against his employers' demands in a taut game where escape seems impossible.
