Five Fingers is an ingeniously constructed thriller that stares unflinchingly at the ruthless nature of global terrorism. Martijn (Ryan Philippe), an idealistic Dutch pianist, travels to Morocco to start a food program for malnourished children. But within moments of his arrival, Martijn and his British guide are abducted by terrorists and interrogated in an abandoned warehouse. Enduring unimaginable torture, Martijn desperately tries to prove his innocence to the group's ruthless leader, Ahmat (Laurence 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.

suspensful amazing story line holds ones interest, some scenes of gross cruelty (just shut your eyes) and a wow of an ending. I thought it was well written

Nice twist at the end. Good to see fighting terror with terror, and the end justifying the means. Good movie.

Is torture justifyable? To save hundreds or thousands of meat loving people?

A little bit horrifying, but believable in this day and age.

Five fingers was an interesting attempt at a twisted tale, predictable and a bit slow. Interesting story.

Very slow, not for me.

The direction of the movie was a bit sloppy for a while and I only really 'got it' about 10 minutes before the end. While I thought the character of Ryan Philippe could have been played better by someone else (as I couldn't believe his accent), I thought Lawrence Fishburne was well cast. The torture scenes are confronting but overall a watchable movie.
