“The Handyman” (*1/2 out of four) was a deficient action melodrama about a handyman (Kevin Caliber) whose violent past and action skills have to resurface when he is thrust into an underworld showdown with a group of terrorist thugs (Erik Anthony Russo, Mark Schaefer, and others) and to protect a young woman (Veronica Tullo). Thirdhand generic action movie full of ennui and empty gunfights and hand-to-hand combat sequences. Film makes numerous references to both “Die Hard” and “Taken” as excuses to rip both films off.
