Reviews:
“Michael Pashan is suitably menacing as the villainous Vinnie Fiore however, my only gripe with the film is that the end just sort of happens and is a little underwhelming. Aside from that The Handler is a solid indie actioner with plentiful action scenes and a fast pace making it an easy watch.” The Action Elite

“It has the look and feel of some of the titles that hit back in the day and Chris Levine plays a solid action lead and is pretty kick-ass in the numerous set-pieces. The action is relentless and violent and the empty-handed action is balanced quite nicely with the firefights giving genre fans a little bit of everything. If you can look past the low budget and minor issues then this is a fun action flick…” Action Flix

The Handler, like its predecessors, is action-packed with expertly choreographed fight scenes effective executed by its obviously skilled cast as Chris Levine impresses with a major studio fighting edge that would give a Gruber brother concern. There’s nothing clumsy about the “action” in The Handler and it’s certainly above the frays of most of the indie action flicks…” B&S About Movies
