Film Review – Dirty Hands

Writer/director/producer/star Kevin Interdonato wants to make a crime film with “Dirty Hands,” looking to get tough with a study of brotherly bonds and underworld entanglements. Instead of getting inspired with the material, Interdonato turns to Tarantino for influence, generating another study of profane characters stuck in bad situations, with dialogue prioritized over physical activity. The helmer doesn’t have a budget to work with, as most of the action in the picture is contained to a single room. He doesn’t have much drama as well, losing viewer interest as potentially tense confrontations are passed on for the same old stuff in genre moviemaking. “Dirty Hands” disappoints, but it does have a few capable performances to make it passably interesting at times, with Interdonato wisely surrounding himself with more commanding thespians, helping him to find the threat level he’s looking for.
