A Secret Handshake

I have never been fired up enough to make a comment on IMDb but after watching this movie I just could not help myself. This film (if you can call it that) is easily the worst travesty in cinematic history and believe me I have seen some bad movies in my time. There is only one reason for anyone to ever watch this film and that is if they are having trouble sleeping as it knocks you out faster than an elephant tranquiliser.

I implore anyone that is considering renting this movie to spend an hour and half doing something more fun with their time (like castration or dinner with the mother in law) Shot for under $500,000 (I would guess it was shot for under $100) the acting is non-existent and at the end of the film I was still looking for a plot. In short anyone that had a hand in making this film should do the industry a favour and quit before they torture the public with more of this tripe.

This movie feels like it was a senior art school project conceived and executed on too much acid. If it had been 15 minutes long I might have appreciated it as amusing but thankfully it went on long enough to exhibit every possible limitation of writing, acting and directing ability that this team could share. With a bit more effort at emotion on the "actors" parts, that is if they weren't just friends of the director, it could have claimed to be camp. I guess I watched the whole thing, while asking myself why many times, because I couldn't give up hope that there was some point to my torture only to be rewarded with an ending just a couple steps up from it was just a dream, on the triteometer. And what's up with both the director and writer having the same first name: Harsha? Is that Hindi for, 'Don't make a movie with a someone who's also named Harsha'?

Good Story poor acting, but don't let that stop you watching this film. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The finer details are hidden with twists and turns and there's a jaw-dropper at the end. The acting is very much B Movie acting, but that fades into the background as you try and work out what is going on with the story. The cinematography was OK, script was OK, what really makes this film stand out is the story (which I don't want to go into to much details and spoil it for anyone). This film is defiantly worth a watch and I'll be keeping my eyes on Harsha Gijre (screenplay), to see what else he can come up with. Does anyone know of anything else he's been involved with? There were quite a few foreign names in the credits, so he might have done something before in another country.

This movie was t e r r i b l e! The acting was...*shudder*. And that's a shudder in a bad way FYI. The receptionist at Jacob's workplace was probably the best act in the entire film. Jacob's relationship with his hot, young wife is far from believable, and the "scary, suspenseful" scenes made me laugh out loud. The love scenes looked like something from a softcore porn channel (oh yes, I know)

Better acting can be found in the Incident in Lake County.

If I could bash this movie any more, I would. I just lack the vocabulary, grammar, and time

*shakes head*

This a strange little film. Every aspect screams "amateur" - the acting quality is a tiny notch above porn, the script trips into cliché at the worst moments, the direction is clumsy, the lighting (when they use any) veers between daylight or an 80s soft-rock ballad video. However, the story is great. I didn't see what was coming (truth be told it would be hard to predict) but there were clues planted along the way when you look back on it.

Whether this all makes sense is another matter, but maybe that's the point. I enjoyed watching it - it was wanting to know what happened at the end that kept me going, even though all through it I kept thinking "This is so bad..." The last 60 seconds of the film, however, should have been cut, as they ultimately spoil it.

Give this story to some new writers, director and cast, and it could have been a hit.
