How It Feels

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

A TV-movie take on the superhero origin story where gaining extraordinary abilities comes with a body-horror price, every use of his speed brings the protagonist closer to death. It's high-stakes action tempered by the grim reality of what his powers are costing him.
