How It Feels

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

A chaotic blend of brutal street violence and absurdist humor that follows a man trying to escape his yakuza past, only to be dragged back into a escalating cycle of conflict. It's stylized crime cinema with one foot in soap opera melodrama and the other in over-the-top action spectacle.
