How It Feels

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

A gritty rise-and-fall story that tracks one man's ascent through Harlem's drug trade with charisma and luck, only to watch it all collapse under the weight of loyalty betrayed and enemies made. It's propulsive street cinema that doesn't romanticize its world so much as show it clearly.
