There is a cottage industry in Hollywood that generates thrillers for expired action stars and former heartthrobs. Five Fingers is on the better end of those typically unmitigated disasters. Go to Full Review Kam Williams Sly Fox Jul 9, 2009
2.5/4
A thought-provoking mindbender unfolding in one room and narrowly focused on a grisly, gradually-escalating standoff. Go to Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com Jul 5, 2006

It’s all dialogue but none of it is interesting to listen to. And with a predictable ending that is honestly just more of a frustrating, confusing ending, this just ends up just feeling like a frustrating and waste of time movie See more Nov 17, 2017 About as good as Philippe’s Dutch accent See more Apr 22, 2014 A thrilling and intense film, with a disturbing twist.
