How It Feels

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

A grimly introspective portrait of a hitman returning to the suffocating world he fled, where every reunion carries the weight of old violence and the possibility of none. The film dwells in the emotional wreckage beneath the crime story, a man caught between the pull of blood ties and the impossibility of escape.
