Leave your thoughts about A Fistful of Fingers.
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenStart to finish, the movie is delightfully dorky, irreverent and scrappy, the exact kind of project a young filmmaker would make if they just wanted to make fellow nerds laugh and were pretty good at doing so. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyLoaded with unashamedly sophomoric humor, but fired with a kind of early Richard Lester-esque elan that doesn’t run out of gas, A Fistful of Fingers shows more wit and invention than most of its no-budget Brit saddlemates. |
| User ReviewTim SNutty little spoof from Edgar Wright. His first professional film is campy and nutty, but very funny. A great little flick. |
| User ReviewFacebook ULove this movie!!! one of Edgar's first movies. Awesome awesome movie. |
| User Reviewscott gI was lucky enough to get hold of this, it's very rare. It's not up there with Wright's newer work like 'Shaun of the Dead' or 'Hot Fuzz' - but this was his first low budget film and it's pretty funny in the vein of Naked Gun. |
| User ReviewJon TPretty stupid, but also very fun if you give it time to get past the referential humor and intentionally idiotic plot. Wright's love of the Zuckers, Landis, Leone, Python, Hill and Lucas is evident throughout and interesting to see as influences - but this also exhibits his own characteristic emphasis on timing and repetition gleaned from such sources. |
| User ReviewAndrew HThere's a line you don't cross in parodies that takes the film to the dimension of "so bad it went to good, then went to bad again," and this film crosses that line. The silliness, the ridiculous stupidity and idiocy is near overbearing the entire ride, but the fact of the matter is, this film is DEAD FUNNY. There a number of hit and miss jokes, but the supreme moronic hilarity in some of the other jokes makes up for it. This film could have been something great, but I think Mr. Wright has learned since this film, that he needs to balance his silliness with intelligence, good action, and pretty visuals which this film was almost completely devoid of. If it wasn't so gosh darn funny, this film could have been the most childish piece of shit I had ever seen. But luckily, it was, and I had a good time, at least until towards the end, where the jokes lost of its luster, and the stupidity was almost unbearable. Still, I think it's worth it. |
| User ReviewPetros TEdgar Wright's feature length debut is a crazy spoof of the western genre. He definitely seems to know not only his westerns but also the classic '80s parody movies and, although he might not possess his trademark directorial style yet, his writing is strikingly funny already, be it clever jokes, dumb jokes, gags, references or all of the other weird, unexpected stuff that goes on in this surreal, creative film. The acting is fun and the low budget facilitates the comedy - that's how you do it. |
| User Reviewr96skEdgar Wright's first film is... not good, pretty bad in fact. 'A Fistful of Fingers' does work in small doses, though all in all it's rather limp. The early stages, the opening 25 minutes or so, are solid if hit-and-miss, unfortunately the rest is heavy in the miss department. There are some mildly amusing bits, the Clint Eastwood/'A Fistful of Dollars' schtick is decent but quickly runs dry. There isn't much to talk about regarding the cast, they give alright performances I guess - Graham Low sticks out most, as you'd expect. The film coulda done without the Native American stuff, which is not only lazy and rather unsavoury. The, unexpected, animated bit was cool though. The best part of this film? The poster. Noice. |
| User ReviewNick MEdgar Wright made his debut feature with this corny spaghetti western spoof. I always love to go back to the beginning of an established filmmaker's career and see how they've evolved over time. And Edgar Wright has certainly evolved from this low budget flick. Although there are some jokes that hit pretty well, overall it's pretty bad, but it's not without the hint of promise that Wright was indeed a director who was going places. |
