How It Feels

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

A charming action-comedy where a legendary assassin forced into retirement tries to live as an ordinary office worker, balancing the absurdity of mundane workplace life against the pull of his violent past. It's a film that finds humor in the gap between Akira's lethal capabilities and his genuine attempts at normalcy, anchored by an unlikely found family.
