How It Feels

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

A stylish, irreverent revenge fantasy where Irish Catholic brothers become folk heroes by methodically executing criminals, all while an FBI agent closes in. It's violent, funny, and utterly unapologetic about its mission.
