Maybe I have seen too many of these types of movies. But then again, I saw right through Kaiser Sose in the Usual Suspects right from the beginning.
Five Fingers is a good enough movie to watch once, and that's if you don't mind an entire movie taking place at one location where all the characters are having a mind battle. It's a psychological thriller with a nice twist towards the end but to me it lacks a bit of action to make it special.
I have never heard of this movie until 2021... So we have 15 years of different things happening all around the world, that could influence its reception.
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 .
This is one of those films that, given its single location and duel of wits between the two leads, simply cries out that there is a twist coming. When it comes, in the final five minutes, it does so having announced its imminent arrival somewhere between two minutes and 30 seconds before it actually turns up and so, to a degree, it fails.
So i really want to see this movie, but everywhere i search, i am disappointed. i did see it on an euro ebay site, but no luck in the u.
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.
Sorry, this film is awful - so bad I felt compelled to write my first review. It tries to be awfully clever and fails miserably.
I love this type of movie: of two wills battling each other in one room. And more and more of the truth slowly emerges.
