How It Feels

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

A gritty streetwise crime saga following one man's ruthless ascent in the Oakland underworld, shot with the visual confidence and narrative swagger that defined blaxploitation cinema at its peak. The film moves with propulsive energy through a world of competing criminal interests and brutal hierarchies, never flinching from the violence and exploitation at its core.
