Sorry, this movie sucks
Best movie of this year hands down!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
How on EARTH can ANYONE rate this a 'good' movie with 'good acting'???Terrible acting, terrible movie. No 'twist' at the end, pretty predictable. I'm glad I was working whilst watching it or I'd have to admit I just wasted an hour or so of my time. I'm one of the '18% who rated it a '1' and I'd have made it a '0' but they don't let you. Ryan has a pretty face, but he could not act his way out of a wet paper sack and the girl has massively HUGE lips which I 'suppose' some men might find, err, 'useful' but she still has her teeth so, ah, not so much.I would not pay money to see this movie.
I just want to make sure that everyone who DID watch this movie, realized as I did, that Ryan Phillipe has done a lot of maturing. I haven't seen a lot of his work- last I recall was something with Susan Sarandon and Kieren Culkin-IGBY GOES DOWN?? Anyway, I was extremely impressed with Ryan's performance in this movie. Although Laurence was also great, I think this is Ryan's best performance ever- I hope it leads to better roles for him. I think he should at least get a nod at some kind of award. (I realize it's an older movie- I don't know if he had any affect on any previous nominations). Anyway, I hope that this is a taste of the NEW matured Ryan Phillip- I look forward, and will watch future films!
i missed the first 15 minutes first time i saw five fingers on cable . i thought it would be just another dumb action, terrorist movie with a typical ending . wow, was i wrong ! five fingers is a truly psychological thriller with a Hitchcock like ending . being only 87 minutes long, it shifts into high gear very quickly . it could have been a stage play because not many scene changes nor many characters to deal with here . Laurence Fishburne gives a truly memorable, award winning performance as Ahmad, the muslin kidnapper . the ending caught me totally by surprise . so much that i ran out to buy the DVD . i watched it a few times because i missed some important details the second time around . i am sorry i did not get to enjoy this movie in the theatre . it was one of the best movies i have seen during the past few years . most films i see are forgotten as soon as they roll the credits at the end . five fingers had me thinking about it for a long time . see it you won't be sorry !
Hmm.Not sure what to make of this one. I thought it started very well, no pre-amble and got into the action straightaway. Colm Meaney's character seemed so lightweight you knew he was going to get killed.About halfway through the film, I started to not care about Ryan Phillipe's character. I started not to care about his 'food programme'. And sadly I saw the twist coming and was proved right.The acting was OK, Laurence Fishburne was great. It's just the story never really dragged you in. It felt like the film would've benefited more from being longer, allowing you to get more involved.
