How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A noir boxing picture that traps you in the sweaty, brutal world of fixed fights and double-crosses. Lean and devastating in its 73 minutes, it's about the moment when a fighter discovers he's been sold out by the people meant to protect him.
