The Handyman

About This Movie

So, 'The Handyman' is kind of an interesting entry in the action genre. You’ve got this down-and-out handyman who ends up in this intense situation protecting a mansion, which is pretty much a character in itself. The pacing keeps you on your toes, a real mix of quiet tension and sudden bursts of violence. The performances, especially from the young niece, Molly, add an unexpected depth—she’s tough, and that dynamic with the handyman really draws you in. I have to say, the practical effects are pretty solid for a 2025 film, giving it a gritty authenticity. It’s unique in how it balances the personal stakes with the high-octane action, making it feel a bit more grounded than your usual fare.
