How It Feels

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

A weathered gunslinger confronts his failing body and fractured past when he tries to build a life with the estranged son who despises him. The film trades frontier action for the quieter, sadder struggle of a man too marked by violence to ever truly escape it.
