How It Feels

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

An operatic, stakes-laden thriller about a fallen hero forced to resurface against overwhelming odds in a city descending into chaos. The film is relentlessly dark and propulsive, asking whether redemption is possible when the cost is everything.
