Shake Hands with the Devil (2007)
A tragic event, in clumsy hands.

A sad effort, which may at the outset have been a labour of conviction, but by the time finished, this film, fails on just so many levels.
It's yet another typical example of the merely acceptable. This was a profound and continuing tragedy, whose telling should be told by those capable of actually telling it. Instead, it is another vehicle for local, semi-skilled, but presumably well connected hacks. The direction is dull witted, and lacks the essential vision and requisite skill, to tell such a terrible story unforgettably. The acting is, as we've all come to expect from Mr. Dupuis, generic, one dimensional, and stumbling at best.
More Film Canada land fill. I wish we could get our tax dollars back.
