How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut chronicle of a Dublin gangster's meteoric rise and inevitable collapse, caught between rival forces that close in from all sides. The film moves with the precision of a heist, but its real subject is the cost of notoriety and the impossibility of staying ahead when you've made enemies of everyone.
