Handshake

About This Movie

So, 'Handshake' is this gritty little gem that dives into the unexpected friendship between Bill and Devin, both sort of lost in their own lives. The Montana backdrop adds a raw, rugged feel, like the wilderness is watching their every move. There's this slow burn to the story that builds tension nicely, especially as their plan unfolds. The performances are pretty grounded, making you feel the weight of their choices. You get this mix of crime and drama that doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of desperation. The practical effects are minimal but effective, which is refreshing. It’s not your typical thriller; it messes with your expectations, which is always intriguing in a film.
