How It Feels

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

A Russian expatriate's attempt at quiet retirement in the Philippines is shattered when violence forces him to confront the criminal past he tried to escape. It's a lean, straightforward action thriller about duty and the impossibility of running from who you were.
