Dirty Hands is a 2026 American action crime thriller film written and directed by Kevin Interdonato. The film stars Patrick Muldoon, Interdonato, Denise Richards, Michael Beach, Guy Nardulli and Wes McGee. Set in the criminal underworld of Chicago, it follows brothers Richie and Danny Denton as a routine drug deal goes wrong, leaving them trapped between rival gangs and their own boss after the death of a kingpin's son during a single night of escalating violence.[1][2][3]
The film is produced by Interdonato's Take No Prisoners Productions in association with Guy Nardulli's Safety24 Productions, with Saban Films handling distribution.[3][4] Dirty Hands was for a limited theatrical release and video on demand release in the United States on April 24, 2026.[3][1][5]
In the underbelly of Chicago, brothers Richie and Danny Denton make their living running drugs for a local crime boss. A supposedly simple handoff on the city's south side erupts into chaos when the deal collapses and the son of a powerful kingpin ends up dead.[2][6]
As word spreads, the Dentons find themselves hunted from all sides. Their own boss wants to erase any trace of their mistake, while a rival gang, led by Rodney, sets out for bloody revenge. Richie's girlfriend Sheila, who is romantically involved with him yet tied to his employer, is forced to choose where her loyalties lie as the night spirals out of control.[2][7] With multiple factions closing in, Richie and Danny have only one night to fight their way out and stay alive.[5][3]

Production
Dirty Hands was developed as a low budget independent film crime thriller by actor film maker Kevin Interdonato, who wrote the screenplay and directed while also playing Danny Denton.[1][8] Interdonato reunited with long time collaborators Patrick Muldoon and Guy Nardulli, drawing on their shared background in genre cinema and previous work together.[8]
The film was produced by Interdonato and Nardulli through their banners Take No Prisoners Productions and Safety24 Productions. Producer credits also include Glenn Rodriguez, Jason Mello, Santo Scardillo and Nicholas Larrabure.[3][4] According to interviews with the filmmakers, the shoot operated on a tight schedule and budget, with extensive night shooting on location in Chicago and heavy reliance on local contacts and favors.[citation needed] External listings and production notes likewise state that principal photography took place in Chicago, Illinois.[9][10]
Fight coordinator Jason Mello designed the film's action sequences, bringing experience from larger scale television and streaming productions.[5] The finished film has a reported running time of 80 minutes.[4][3]
