How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy 80s action-comedy about a kid finding his courage through martial arts training to stand up to bullies and mobsters. It's earnest underdog fun with the energy of a breakdancer and the heart of a boy proving himself to his injured father.
