REVIEW: FIVE FINGERS
07/02/09
A shattering look at the
shifting morals of terrorism and covert torture, Lionsgate’s
Five Fingers stars Academy Award® nominee Laurence Fishburne
(What’s Love Got to Do with It), Ryan Phillippe (Crash) and
Colm Meaney (Layer Cake) in a startling cat and mouse
thriller that turns recent prisoner abuse scandals on their
head. The Five Fingers DVD special features include the
featurette, “Endgame: Inside Five Fingers” and a trivia
track, and will be available this July.
Martijn (Phillippe), an idealistic Dutch pianist, travels to
Morocco to help start a food program for malnourished
children. On Middle Eastern soil, however, he and his
British guide Gavin (Meaney) are abducted by terrorists who
mistrust Martijn’s altruistic motives. The captors promptly
kill Gavin and then begin systematic attempts to extract
information from Martijn by cutting off his fingers one at a
time. Enduring unimaginable torture, Martijn desperately
tries to prove his innocence to the group’s ruthless leader,
Ahmat (Fishburne). Forced to question everything, and
everyone that brought him to Morocco, Martijn has only one
choice: solve the riddle of his captivity or die trying.
