In Five Fingers Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix series, Mission Impossible III) delivers a gripping performance as an Islamic terrorist who kidnaps a Dutch goodwill ambassador, Martijn (Ryan Phillipe, Flags of our Fathers). Suspense and psychological drama ensue as the captors (Fishburne and Gina Torres, I Think I Love My Wife) torture Martijn for information and he starts running out of time...and fingers. This one's got a twist in the tail.

Format:DVD
'Five Fingers' is an espionage mystery thriller, which had a limited theatrical release in the USA in 2006 and a direct to DVD release in the UK in 2007. In both releases the movie went unnoticed.
The movie tells the story of a Dutch pianist (Ryan Phillipe) who is kidnapped in Morroco by terrorists. The terrorists then attempt to obtain important information from him.
The movie has an intriguing start that creates sufficient suspense and ends with a shocking twist, which deserves an applause. The downfall is that the movie leaves too many unanswered questions throughout the movie and after the climax, which was unexpected but abrupt. Coming to the title of the movie, I'll let you guess (if you don't know already) what relevance it has to the movie.
The performances of the lead actors, Laurence Fishburne (also one of the producers) and Ryan Phillipe were convincing and engaging. The direction provided by Laurence Malkin is average as it is not pollished and sometimes erratic. The production values are consistent with a low budget.
The movie is let down by the loose-ends, however is salvaged to an extent by the interesting premise and the ending.
'Five Fingers' is a fair suspense thriller, which deserves a watch via renting or TV.
Recomended for fans who love a final twist ending.

Suspenseful "what is going on" film
9 Nov 2011
Format:DVD
This is a suspenseful, "what is going on," "who should we believe" 2006 film. A young man who says he is from Holland is in love with a young woman who says she is from Morocco. The man leaves the woman in the US and flies to Morocco saying he is going to help feed the starving people there. He is accompanied by a guide. He and the guide are kidnapped by people dressed as Muslims. He is drugged. He wakes tied up, not knowing where he is, and sees the guide killed for making insulting remarks about Muslims. Laurence Fishburne plays the Muslim leader, but is he? He insists that the man knows certain things and wants him to tell what they are. But what are these things? Who really is the young man? Is his girl friend involved? Who is behind Fishburne? What is he really trying to find out? Why is it so important that he cuts off four of the man's fingers? The man put one million dollars in his bank account. Where did he get the money? What is it for? There is a surprise ending to this suspenseful tale.

Excellent Acting But Mysterious Plot
3 Aug 2009
Format:DVD
MARTIJN (Ryan Phillippe), a Dutch pianist and friend, travels to Morocco to help start a food program for malnourished children or so he says. Within moments of his arrival Martijn and his friend are abducted on a bus by a group of terrorists, only one of them is injected with a drug, but both are imprisoned. Do you see the mystery forming already? Under threat of death, Martinj engages in a mental chess match with AHMAT (Laurence Fishburne), trying to learn his captor's true objective and avoid death. When he fails to answer the questions that his captors are asking, they begin to cut off his fingers. Since he plays piano this is very significant. The captors seem to know all about him. How do they know so much? Is it the beautiful mysterious girlfriend that he left at home? To add to the thrill and mystery of the movie Gina Torres (Fishburne's wife in real life) enters and gives an award winning performance. First she appears to sympathize with Martijn, but then she flips and is working with Ahmat. After intense interrogation, Martijn decides to give in and writes down some information on a piece of paper. I am still in the dark because the movie ended with me not knowing if he really knew nothing or did he really know something? I enjoyed the movie. The characters were very convincing and memorable. There are several unpredictable things that happen at the end. But the one thing that did not happen was to reveal to me why he was abducted and if he was a case of mistaken identity. I searched on the internet for a revelation to the ending and found none. So kudos to the writer for such mystery in a movie. How do I feel? FRUSTRATED!
Ryan Phillippe Does it again

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once again Ryan Phillippe puts out another outstanding performance. A little different to his usual this time with less of the action but the mind games and ending plot certainly make up for that
