Five Fingers (2006) User Reviews

Fizzled at the end

[Enchorde · 5/10 · 10 March 2007]

Recap: Martijn goes to Morocco to set up a food program for malnourished kids in the Rif mountains. Once there, he and his guide Gavin get attacked on a bus and kidnapped. Transported to an unknown location, Gavin is soon executed and Martijn interrogated about his intentions. Not being able to answer the kidnappers resort to torture by cutting off his fingers, one at a time. Slowly Martijn learns what his kidnappers want, and slowly he reveals his secrets...

Comments: Starts out very promising building an air of suspense very quickly. But slowly, as the leads and recollections trickles out the ending comes more an more clear. And that's before the real ending happens. So when the real ending do come, the suspense is lost, the mystery gone and the supposed twist straight as an arrow.

What it is though is an interesting attempt to move sympathy. Where the sympathy lies from the beginning is quite clear but as the story develops it shifts. It does not shift to the other end, and if that was the intention it fails. I'm not sure that that was the attempt though, but what it does do is that sympathy evaporates. And that actually, even though it is an interesting project and intriguing in itself, is a problem at the end. If we have no one to sympathize with at the end, why should we care at all? And that was my concluding emotions and thoughts at the end, compounded by the predictable end. Yes, interesting, but so what? It felt like the movie didn't matter. And that, I'm sure, is not what was intended. I guess quite the contrary. This is not a movie just to make money. This is a movie that wanted to make a statement, to leave an impression. It failed.

What it does have is a good cast. Ryan Phillipe and Laurence Fishburne as the competing masterminds, the competing chess players, competing to match wits, do their part very well. Fishburne cool and calculating. Clearly in control and even cruel. Phillipe much more emotional but not lost nor weak. Gina Torres splendid as Fishburnes aide. She has the emotional side that Fishburnes character lacks (or does not show) but is just as calculating and cruel. Honorable mentions to Colm Meany and Touriya Haoud. All their performances very well, the cast clearly lifted the movie a few steps.

5/10

Never really gripped me

[ChangoMutney · 5/10 · 16 November 2007]

Hmm.

Not sure what to make of this one. I thought it started very well, no pre-amble and got into the action straightaway. Colm Meaney's character seemed so lightweight you knew he was going to get killed.

About halfway through the film, I started to not care about Ryan Phillipe's character. I started not to care about his 'food programme'. And sadly I saw the twist coming and was proved right.

The acting was OK, Laurence Fishburne was great. It's just the story never really dragged you in. It felt like the film would've benefited more from being longer, allowing you to get more involved.

Five Fingered rendition parable WARNING: Slight spoiler

[samsan_lee · 5/10 · 10 September 2008]

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. He is mysteriously tailed upon his arrival, and abducted. He awakens chained and is realizes he is "targeted". But is Martijn really who he says he is? A North African Ahmat (Lawrence Fishburne) begins a game of chess that is really a game of cat and mouse. As he ends the chess match with increasingly painful torture events. With one tormentor knowing more and trying to learn greater details, and a victim denying, yet somehow giving away more via flashbacks **Spoilers*** Needless to say the difficulty in distribution (since this came out in 2006) is due to the initial execution of one "victime" and torture of another during the War on Terror years 2001-????. It wasn't going to find proper distribution, however, it was curious that it was o.k. to show the torture of would be suspected Islamic terrorists in Rendition, 24 and countless other films, yet not show the reverse situation.

That being said, it is a pretty good film that builds suspense. In the vein of Death and the Maiden or the Interview. In the ending, you really expect a bigger twist - so it is a lot more predictable then it started off.

5.9 of 10

When it's good, it's very, very good....

[aGuiltySoul · 2 August 2009]

This is a tense psychological drama. A Dutch banker travels to Morocco to set up a food program at the behest of his Moroccan girlfriend. He is kidnapped by a group of extremists who hold him captive and ultimately torture him for information. But who, we wind up asking, is ultimately who? And what truly are everyone's motives? It's a tough film to watch as it deals not only with terrorism and our assumptions about terrorists but also with the challenging topic of torture as a means of obtaining information.

The best parts of the film involve the intense dialogs between the three main characters of the captive, Martijn (Ryan Phillippe), the captor, Ahmat (Laurence Fishburne), and the captor's accomplice, Aicha (Gina Torres). These three actors' performances are outstandingly authentic and riveting. There's no question that if you love to see actors at the top of their game that you shouldn't miss this film. Ryan Phillippe's role as Martijn, however, is the most demanding and he never falters. As the focus character, Ryan's performance creates an incredibly intelligent and complex character.

But this, nevertheless, is a flawed film. It sometimes stumbles over itself. There seems to be some serious issues with editing and pacing. That's too bad. But this is still definitely worth watching if you can handle it's frank look at modern man's sojourn into primitive behavior.

Four amputations, three accents, two plot holes and one big twist...

[JoeytheBrit · 6/10 · 28 August 2008]

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. Having said that, prior to the sudden, almost inexplicable, shifts in attitude of the three main players, the film proves to be quite an intriguing tale of torture and deception that reveals its secrets in a coolly measured manner that successfully manages to reverse the viewers' near-automatic labelling of its protagonists. In this respect, at least, the film undoubtedly succeeds.

Ryan Philippe, Laurence Fishburne and Colm Meaney are all given the opportunity to try on unfamiliar accents with varying degrees of success. Philippe comes off third best, but at least his effort is one that becomes less irritating as the film progresses. Considering the bulk of the story takes place in one location the film does well to prevent the viewer's mind from wondering, which is just as well considering some of the plot holes a small amount of reflection throws up. Perhaps the most unlikely development is the schoolboy trick with which Fishburne finally manages to obtain the information he wants. Philippe has withstood the amputation of all the digits from one hand, adroitly sidestepped all the more sophisticated techniques Fishburne & Co. have employed in their attempts to deceive him, but doesn't have the sense to at least have Fishburne write down just the Christian names to ensure he isn't bluffing? I can't see it somehow. And the idea of a terrorist plot to poison the world's fast food produce, while terrifying when first revealed, quickly becomes too problematic to stand up to scrutiny. Such a plot would require a level of logistical planning and strategy that makes the orchestrated bombing of the World Trade Centre seem positively simple in comparison.

Despite these gripes, the film does manage to keep you intrigued long enough to see it through to the end – and the way that the viewer's point of view is manipulated by writers Chad Thumann and Laurence Malkin (who also directed) is extremely well done.

Excitingly with weaknesses

[taranga-1 · 6/10 · 1 January 2007]

The movie isn't bad, but it's no good one, either. So.

What is it all about? A Dutchman is kidnapped in Morocco by terrorists. He only wants to help, but the kidnappers don't trust his mission. Is it really a food charity project for native children? To get him talk and tell them the truth, they torture him. His companion is killed.

What makes the film worth watching? The story is exciting and a little bit surprising, but also the turning point at the end we foresee,

The dialogues are artificial and remind me being presented by a play school. The blond one nerves especially. What's his name? Ryan Phillippe. I cannot remember seeing him neither at "Crimson Tide" nor at Gasford Park. Also Laurence Fishburne isn't kissed by a muse. Did he do the learning at one afternoon? Guys, that is the easiest work i've ever done... Everyone knows he can do it better.

I don't know if the story is based on psychological know-how. Torture is an effective instrument for extorting confessions. But what if the good ones are doing the same? Impact for discussions, I think.

good movie

[montanagreatfalls08 · 7/10 · 21 August 2007]

I liked it but there's only one little problem... after being shot on the head not a single drop of blood runs down Martjin's face. I wonder if Dutchmen doesn't have blood in their veins? And there's something else, I've live in Netherlands for 4 years and I've never seen a Dutch guy dating a Moroccan chick, this is almost impossible, Don't ask me why but it is! Ah, I almost forgot... Ryan's accent is not Dutch at all. If you close your eyes and just listen to his voice, you wouldn't be able to say where he is from. Anywhere but Netherlands. The one thing I really liked about this movie is that it shows what really happens behind the "curtains".

Not really that great....

[CineCritic2517 · 3/10 · 30 October 2006]

• Contains 1 spoiler, market with: ***** -

Not presenting itself as yet another remake of "The Interview", Five Fingers actually is. Alas, besides maybe the hardship of physical torture, it never adds anything to it's predecessor's accomplishment in terms of suspense, plot or performances. In fact, Five Fingers never gets anywhere near its level.

What I found to be in particular painful to watch wasn't the torture itself, but the way Martijn (Ryan Philippe) acted out his ordeal. To me it looked as if Philippe tried too hard to get his accent right and it made his performance glibly amateur which in turn even dragged down the performance of an otherwise great Colm Meaney. Phillipe's accent btw, being far from anything near Dutch, sounded more like Eastern European.

Besides the acting of Philippi(which to my surprise turned from poor to actually decent towards the end) there is the matter of the flashbacks with the hackneyed Dutch scenery. (If these scenes were set in Switzerland they would have had the cast eat cheese on mountaintops with endless pastures with grazing cows wearing expensive timepieces). Scenery aside, The way these flashbacks pushed the plot didn't work for me at all. It made it being served like French fries at a drive-in and caused the build-up of suspense to flatline.

Admittedly the movie did become more enjoyable as Phillipe's acting improved but I couldn't help being annoyed every now and then with scenes that were just too implausible. E.g.:

************ Start spoiler

At some point (after days) Philippe is almost tenderly washed by the female terrorist. This only to be followed by the brute severing of yet another finger. Why give the guy a wash if he's in for a torture? And the severing of that last finger seemed to only serve the title of this flick anyway, I mean, he was practically begging to have it knifed off. Didn't make sense…

************ End spoiler

What ultimately kept me watching was the performance of Fishburn who once again proved to be a brilliant actor but who also had the best part of the script to work with.

All in all one is just far better off seeing "The Interview" with that other Matrix-icon: Hugo Weaving. And when you do, I'm confident you won't find this review that disagreeable.

3.5/10

"The Interview", 1998 www.imdb.com/title/tt0120714/

Great suspense, and realistic portrayal of how torture is used.

[silvamaize1000 · 9/10 · 10 April 2006]

I came to this movie not knowing much about the plot apart from the basic tag line. What a surprise then that this movie has turned out to be such an informative and very realistic exposition of how the use of terror and torture is utilised in todays world.

Fishburne and Phillipe as the two main characters locked in a battle of mind and will power turn in an excellent performance, as do the supporting characters. The story starts swiftly and almost from the beginning the tension is notched up, and with each twist and turn the movie continues to question who really is the good guy in all of this, if indeed there could be one. In fact this movie, if watched with an open mind can dispel so many stereotypical views about Muslims, the war on terror and what governments and organisations are doing in its name. At the very least its a great social commentary and talking point on the use of rendition and torture and its lack of moral standing in a so called civilised world.

In closing, one can say that the movie literally sucks the viewer in to the drama and never lets go until the credits are rolling. By this time you are bound to be left with very interesting questions, the answers for which are quite literally open ended. Even with all the tension created this movie never loses sight of the political commentary and therefore makes this a thinking persons Hostel or Saw. Well worth watching!

Ryan Phillipe really can't act to save his soul

[david_stever · 6/10 · 24 August 2015]

The weak link of this otherwise pretty good movie is Ryan Phillipe

His character is kidnapped and being held captive, and during that captivity, he is the victim of torture, and while we're shown some pretty damned convincing torture during this movie, Mr. Phillipe is totally unconvincing as the victim of this torture.

The crew that is doing this torture are absolutely great- they are actually good actors, and their actions reflect the complexity of their roles and their corresponding abilities as actors. On the other hand, watching Ryan Phillipe in this is like watching Rob Schneider attempting drama, and that would definitely not be for the faint of heart.

Movie made with 15 Euros

[sergiogua · 2/10 · 4 January 2007]

Boring movie. Poor plot. Poor actors. The movie happens in a room supposed to be in Morocco but actually in some American city! The "Arab terrorists" are the patriots the blonde patriot is the "Arab terrorist"...DAMN!

There is something good about this movie though (that's why the score is 2 out of 10). The director turns the ridiculous stereotype about terrorism the media feeds us every day into the real thing, the terrorists are Americans (or western people if you like).

The movie is divided into two parts. The first part of the movie concerns the Dutchman travel (15 seconds) while the second part is about the staying in the amazing dark brown room (1 hour and something).

The Dutch guy is going to deliver money in Morocco to some "charity organization", gets off the plain, takes the bus and ends up kidnapped in a dark brown room. He is kidnapped with another guy that is shot after telling "They will not shoot at us". The Dutch survivor is forced to play chess with a Morpheus-like Arab guy for so long that you'll learn how to play chess too! At the end the dutch guy reveals his plot not because they cut four of his fingers off but because he is tricked by such a lame game you should watch the movie for!

Good when you are so tired you can't sleep.

Good Psychological Thriller!

[samoppenheim · 8/10 · 7 May 2006]

Despite Ryan Phillipe's awful accent (as Martijn), the movie does a good job pulling you into the world they create. It is, as advertised, a "psychological thriller" and a bit of a mystery as you watch it unfold and slowly flashbacks illuminate the present situation.

Laurence Fishburne is EXCELLENT and makes the movie. Phillipe does a good job and although other characters play pivotal roles, it is really about the two of them.

Most of the film is shot in the same location, but it never gets boring or drags and keeps a lot of tension in most of the scenes. A real psychological treat if you just enjoy it! Not the best movie, but certainly a solid piece of entertainment that gets you to look at things from a slightly different perspective than most treatments of the subject of 'terrorism'.

An idealist seems to be caught by terrorists and he is tortured in order to reveal his friends and collaborators.

[bright10 · 6/10 · 2 May 2012]

Well, although I had missed about ten minutes of the film I found it really interesting, with very good performances, especially on the part of Laurence Fishburne. However there is something hanging concerning the plot. Something has bothered me. Martin is presented in the film as an idealist, a dreamer who is trying to help the people in underdeveloped countries. However he seems to be involved in a scheme according to which innocent people will be killed. It is taken for granted that the CIA as well as the terrorists are accustomed to such tactics but they are not the tactics of an idealist. An idealist might sacrifice themselves but not innocent people. Yet it is worth seeing it.

I liked the act...

[farhire · 5/10 · 26 January 2007]

acting was great....the film had an excellent English, euro-English also was not bad.

the idea is somewhat interesting, even if the ending was surprising yet horrible... sure, after many days of torture and some missing body parts, you will finally give up. therefor it looked as another u.s.propaganda film, as if "we know you all", and we might get you before you start. really terrifying i find the idea of poisoning...terrifying, indeed! sorry peeps, but in true life it is not so...and all this because the location elected for the end.

generally speaking....a 5

the line

[Kirpianuscus · 13 April 2017]

the line between good and evil. the war. in all its forms. the appearances. and the deep roots of the story in our contemporary every day reality. few motifs for define this film as special. for the inspired grow up of story. for performances. for ambiguity who gives, at the end, an impressive revelation. for the atmosphere of play. for the states of Matjin who reflects the fears of us. for the cold verdict. and, sure, for violence who is not more than convincing spice for a film who could be a warning or just precise reflection of reality.

Good thriller thriller will require that you stay all the way to the end before you know whats going on

[dbborroughs · 6/10 · 1 August 2009]

Ryan Phillipe is a Dutch pianist kidnapped while in Morocco on the way to his job with a food distribution organization. He's been kidnapped by a terrorist group headed by Lawrence Fishburne and he's soon forced to play a dangerous game in order to keep his life. This is a dark film with a sting in its tail that is probably a bit too long for what it is. Its not bad but even at 80 odd minutes there is only so far you can take things. The two problems with the film. First is Phillipe in the lead. He's a handsome young man but for my money he has only really worked in a handful of his recent films and he doesn't carry the weight required to really pull this off. The other problem is the nagging sense that this is a bumped up TV movie I don't know if its the script or the direction, but something about this film just doesn't have the weight it should. That said its a good film thats worth a look if you run across it (mostly because its not what you think it is), but not something you need to go out and hunt down. I do have to say that I like the tag line for the film "What price would you pay for your freedom" since it has a nice double meaning.

Low budget psychological thriller worth a watch.

[deloudelouvain · 6/10 · 27 December 2020]

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. As for the acting it's all okay even though I found Ryan Phillippe a bit annoying to watch. Laurence Fishburne plays a character that fits him well and did like usual a good job. Five Fingers is a decent low budget psychological thriller, nothing more, nothing less.

L.F.

[palacerevolution2000 · 7/10 · 23 June 2020]

I love this type of movie: of two wills battling each other in one room. And more and more of the truth slowly emerges. The 7 stars are for the plot and for Laurence Fishburne, who once again proves to be one of the more intense actors around. Co,m meany, although in a small role is forceful and believable. But what pretty much ruined the film for me is Ryan Phillipe. I know this is just me, but I don't like him as an actor much at all/ Lord knows how he keeps landing these fairly big roles. It seems he wanted to do some "acting". He over emotes in most scenes, and that accent.Memories of Kevin Costner in 'Robin Hood'. I kept having to laugh. It was the most ridiculous potpourri of garbled nonsense. And had zero to do with a Dutch accent. To anyone who has seen the film: why even bother with the accent? It had nothing to do with the plot. But I do think one gets used to it. I think he sort of forgot about thr accent after a while LOL. Decent flic; carried by Fishburne.

Tony Miles' review: utter crap

[Ismaninb · 1/10 · 5 February 2007]

Five Fingers is so bad, that I hardly know where to begin. So let me admit first, that I have only seen the first half hour. When the first finger had been chopped off, I thought sleeping a more useful activity. I told my girlfriend the meaning of "five fingers" and she immediately followed my example.

Couldn't the producer, the director and/or the scriptwriter consult a chess-amateur? Like me? They should have used a digital chess-clock and not an analogue. This major goof makes the mental pressure put on Martijn just a laugh. How, when and why did Martijn date a Moroccan girlfriend? Such an affair is very rare in The Netherlands.

The biggest problem is the script of course. Just compare the little intelligent movie Hard Candy. To keep the spectator in a grip, the information must be revealed bit by bit. A nice twist now and then also helps. I understood from other reviews, that there is a big one at the end of the movie. Any smart person can guess what it is. This of course just raises more questions - why is the travel guide killed? Oh my, why should I even care? The whole movie focuses on just one thing: the chopped fingers. The makers have not even learned Hitchcock's lesson: it is thrilling to get a bomb exploded. It is more thrilling to show that bomb ticking. But no, we don't see the paper-cutter until the impossible countdown is over. I will not waste more words on this crap. Go see Hard Candy.

THAT'S HOT ! i highly recommend this movie .

[paris_whitney_hilton_nyc · 9/10 · 2 June 2008]

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 . wow, was i wrong ! five fingers is a truly psychological thriller with a Hitchcock like ending . being only 87 minutes long, it shifts into high gear very quickly . it could have been a stage play because not many scene changes nor many characters to deal with here . Laurence Fishburne gives a truly memorable, award winning performance as Ahmad, the muslin kidnapper . the ending caught me totally by surprise . so much that i ran out to buy the DVD . i watched it a few times because i missed some important details the second time around . i am sorry i did not get to enjoy this movie in the theatre . it was one of the best movies i have seen during the past few years . most films i see are forgotten as soon as they roll the credits at the end . five fingers had me thinking about it for a long time . see it you won't be sorry !

Not for the squeamish!

[michaelRokeefe · 7/10 · 30 August 2009]

Screenplay by Chad Thurman is shared with director Laurence Malkin; an intense drama driven by humanity. Ryan Phillippe plays Martin, a Dutchman flying to Morocco to set up a charity food program to help the needy. He is kidnapped by a terrorist group led by Ahmat(Laurence Fishburne), who wants to know where Martin got his money. The chained and terrorized Martin is forced to play chess while being interrogated. Pleading ignorance and innocence, the Dutchman has a finger chopped off with each uncooperative answer. You instantly picture in your mind the outcome of this gritty and flinching film...hold on for the very clever mind blowing finale. Sometimes there in no price for freedom. The cast includes: Gina Torres, Colm Meaney, Touriya Haoud and Mimi Ferrer.

Stinkeroo.

[rmax304823 · 2/10 · 30 December 2012]

It may be layered over with the cast of deep political significance, but underneath all that intrigue, the plot to poison McDonald's and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans enjoying a vacation, there is nothing much more than torture porn.

The performances are okay. Touriya Haoud, as the hero's Dutch girl friend, is a knockout. And Gina Torres, as Laurence Fishburne's doubtful but willing assistant, is sensual and suitably dubious of her own ends.

Fishburne and Torres are American agents posing as Moroccan terrorists investigating an international plot to poison hamburgers. No kidding. They must torture Ryan Phillipe, a Dutch terrorist, to get the names of others in his organization. That's the icing on the cake. The cake itself, the batter, the stratigraphy, the yellow color of Artificial Dye Number Five, is that in the course of their interrogation, Fishburne and Torres murder Phillipe's companion right off the bat.

Then, in an extended game of cat and mouse, they chop or saw off Phillipe's fingers one by one, while his horrifying screams fill the sound track. In between operations, Phillipe doesn't seem to have been much bothered between the improvised amputations, except that he's splattered with blood and has soiled his pants. But in the end, after his tormentors have actually convinced him that they approve of his plan, he gives away the information they want. He should have done it sooner, because it does him no good.

It's a pretty disgusting piece of crap. It panders to an audience that wants to see people tortured. There's been a lot of that around lately. Sometimes it's our side that does the torturing, as here, and in a television program called "24". As in, "We've got only 24 hours to get the terrorist to tell us where the dirty bomb is that will go off in the middle of New York City, and he won't cooperate, so torture is unavoidable, balanced against hundreds of thousands of innocent lives." I'm prepared to live with torture under those circumstances, provided that the interrogators call the Secretary of Defense on a hot line and get his endorsement so that accountability will be preserved. The reason I could live with torture under those circumstances is that I think we'd have to wait a thousand years before the moment arrived -- except in the movies and in political polemics.

I suppose torture porn is a natural point in the evolution of slasher movies. The fun lies not in the deaths themselves but in the anticipation of the pre-mortem pain. Rather like the sadistic goon Michael Madden in "Reservoir Dogs", fondling his razor, and describing to the captive policeman how he's going to make him suffer. Movies like "The Killing Gene", "Sawbones", and "Hard Candy" have the good taste to dispense with their lofty identities entirely and just give us good, old-fashioned American torture, right out in the open, keeping the viewer agape with tension as the time for the next physical assault grows nearer.

We're a funny people. American movies are scaling back on nudity and simulated sex. A few cable channels are beginning to excise unacceptable language again, as they did a generation ago. But torture porn blooms, not like a flower but like a freshly watered carnivorous cactus. And it's all very thought provoking too. The thought it provokes is: Why is it that so many of us enjoy seeing others scream in agony?

Great film

[danny_holloway · 8/10 · 22 October 2007]

There are so many films out there that i guess the ending or work out the twist. This wasn't one of them. This film, if given the chance, is edge of the seat stuff for a proper film fan. I tried to guess the twist many times and was way off every time. It does start slow but give it a chance, it will drag you in and leave you guessing. The brilliant performances from phillipe and fishburne shine through. If you want fast pace action and explosions this film isn't for you but if you enjoy a film that makes you think and guess, watch it. I give this film 8 out of 10 for the simple fact that its different and that you will NOT guess the ending.

Complete Waste of Time

[jameszhang68 · 1/10 · 24 March 2012]

Ending is as awful as it can get. Perhaps, in the end, the poor guy cant think straight and sees no way out and just wants to end his life. Here is the deal. He has many OUTS.

For example:

They can use this scheme: One tells the first letter and the other tells the last letter. It is 1/28 odds to be right. To be more certain, they can tell each other the 2nd and the 2nd from the end. It would be impossible for anyone to fake it.

Easy way out!

I feel being intellectually cheated after 2 hrs on this crap.

terrible movie awful acting

[TanteWaileka · 1/10 · 5 July 2012]

How on EARTH can ANYONE rate this a 'good' movie with 'good acting'???

Terrible acting, terrible movie. No 'twist' at the end, pretty predictable.

I'm glad I was working whilst watching it or I'd have to admit I just wasted an hour or so of my time. I'm one of the '18% who rated it a '1' and I'd have made it a '0' but they don't let you. Ryan has a pretty face, but he could not act his way out of a wet paper sack and the girl has massively HUGE lips which I 'suppose' some men might find, err, 'useful' but she still has her teeth so, ah, not so much.

I would not pay money to see this movie.
