How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A muscular action thriller that deploys the high-school setting as a combat zone, watching a hardened mercenary wage war against institutional corruption one classroom at a time. It's wish-fulfillment with a tactical mindset: violent, propulsive, and unapologetically delivered.
