How It Feels

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

A noir-tinged examination of how childhood violence and complicity haunt a man trying to escape his past, only to find it closing in as a cop in his old neighborhood. The film methodically tightens the noose around its protagonist as buried secrets threaten everything he's built.
