Shake Hands with the Devil Ratings & Reviews
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
Shake Hands with the Devil is an exceptional, bold work with great performances that should be considered a classic.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Opinions will naturally differ on the politics behind this drama set during the Irish War of Independence, but there will be no arguments over the quality of James Cagney's performance.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A good intro into the conflict between England and the IRA.
