How It Feels

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

A martial arts spectacle that pairs balletic combat choreography with fish-out-of-water comedy as a kung fu master from Hong Kong takes on Rome's criminal underworld. It's as much about the clash between East and West as it is about the visceral thrill of watching an unstoppable force dismantle obstacle after obstacle.
