Thought provoking...

Treadstone from , 4th September, 2007

This movie is a very interesting story about a Dutch guy who heads off to Morocco in order to set up a food programme to help the impoverished and is kidnapped and tortured by what would appear to be terrorists; however all is not what it seems. Upon receiving this film, I noted a couple of negative reviews, so I had my doubts. However my girlfriend and I found ourselves engrossed by the series of events that soon unfolded as the film progressed. Laurance Fishbourne puts on a performance that you will have grown to expect and enjoy from such a talented actor and Ryan Phillippe does a pretty convincing job of acting as the Dutch bloke, Martijn. I’m not sure if he is Dutch himself, if not, then he did a perfect Dutch impersonation. I digress, yes this movie can be a little slow moving but this is more a psychological journey, if you are after a face-paced action movie then you should possibly avoid. However if you can persevere and you enjoy this genre of film (i.e. action/ drama) then you will certainly enjoy this. I would recommend this to my friends any day. One word of warning, you may be left asking many questions at the end…but that’s the idea.

Five Fingers:Grab a watch

raptor1217 from , 2nd October, 2008

I was unsure in hiring this, hadn't heard of it, and the synopsis didn't tell you much. Which is good, as telling much about can give too much away. What looks like a cheap film to make, there are no morre than 4 main charcaters, and filmed in mostly one location. But don't let this put you off. I was pleasently surprised by this. Its about Ryan Phillipe a Dutch banker, kidnapped in Morroco by Lawrence Fishburne and his terrorists. Anything else might give something away. The film keeps you guessing on whats happening and building up the tension. Well worthwhile to watch.
