How It Feels

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

A hard-edged western where a man's prowess becomes his downfall, trapping him between the violent frontier he knows and a modernizing world that won't tolerate him. The film is as much about Tom Horn's irrelevance as his guilt.
