How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A righteous revenge tale powered by the clarity of purpose, a young man transforms himself through martial discipline to settle an old score. The film moves with kinetic energy from monastery training montages to increasingly assured combat sequences.
