Five Fingers Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kirpianuscus the line between good and evil. the war. in all its forms. the appearances. and the deep roots of the story in our contemporary every day reality. few motifs for define this film as special. for the inspired grow up of story. for performances. for ambiguity who gives, at the end, an impressive revelation. for the atmosphere of play. for the states of Matjin who reflects the fears of us. for the cold verdict. and, sure, for violence who is not more than convincing spice for a film who could be a warning or just precise reflection of reality.
jameszhang68 Ending is as awful as it can get. Perhaps, in the end, the poor guy cant think straight and sees no way out and just wants to end his life. Here is the deal. He has many OUTS.For example:They can use this scheme: One tells the first letter and the other tells the last letter. It is 1/28 odds to be right. To be more certain, they can tell each other the 2nd and the 2nd from the end. It would be impossible for anyone to fake it. Easy way out!I feel being intellectually cheated after 2 hrs on this crap.
Pat McGee Went down to see if some other movie was in and grabbed this one instead. Five Fingers was excellent. Ryan Phillippe did a great job (sorry, I'm old and I had no idea who this kid was prior to this movie. I grabbed it because of Laurence Fishburne).Once every other thought I had of why they kidnapped him was debunked, it wasn't until the last few minutes that it struck me. Love movies with these twists.Well done throughout and ouch, I could almost feel every finger being cut off.
samsan_lee In Five Fingers, two people arrive in Morroco as part of a food distribution program. There is nice scenery of Morocco as two volunteers Gavin (Colm Meany) and Martijn (Ryan Phillipe) tour the landscape by bus. He is mysteriously tailed upon his arrival, and abducted. He awakens chained and is realizes he is "targeted". But is Martijn really who he says he is? A North African Ahmat (Lawrence Fishburne) begins a game of chess that is really a game of cat and mouse. As he ends the chess match with increasingly painful torture events. With one tormentor knowing more and trying to learn greater details, and a victim denying, yet somehow giving away more via flashbacks **Spoilers*** Needless to say the difficulty in distribution (since this came out in 2006) is due to the initial execution of one "victime" and torture of another during the War on Terror years 2001-????. It wasn't going to find proper distribution, however, it was curious that it was o.k. to show the torture of would be suspected Islamic terrorists in Rendition, 24 and countless other films, yet not show the reverse situation.That being said, it is a pretty good film that builds suspense. In the vein of Death and the Maiden or the Interview. In the ending, you really expect a bigger twist - so it is a lot more predictable then it started off.5.9 of 10
