How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A feel-good martial arts underdog story that splits its time between Chuck Norris action fantasy sequences and a sincere coming-of-age narrative about an asthmatic teenager finding confidence. It's earnest wish-fulfillment with real heart.
