Handshake is a surprising story that is well-told. While the first scene doesn’t totally work, the majority of the 112-minute runtime is engaging and clever.

Rated: 8/10

Handshake holds no punches when it comes to lay out a relentless drama with unlikeable leading characters that digs deep into the darkest corners of the human condition, resulting in a multi-layered kind of story.

Rated: 9/10

May not be a film that demands repeated viewings, but it effectively fulfils its purpose as a thought-provoking crime drama.

Rated: 6/10

What happens when two strangers, with their own struggles, have a chance encounter that decide their fates? HANDSHAKE is an engaging and interesting character piece. It is kind of a modern western set in Montana. Director and star Robert Shupe pulls off a professional feature film feat on a really low budget.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Starts out like a B movie, but once you get to the plot gets better and better. I really liked the final bit of dialog (I am being discrete here to not give spoiler).

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Thoughtful thriller comedy that has a lot to say about morality and the exploitative nature of our justice system.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
