Fingers

About This Movie

Fingers is this gritty blend of action and drama, set against the backdrop of the music world. The film follows a wannabe pianist, torn between his dreams and the tough debt-collecting job his Mafia father has thrust upon him. It’s all about that tension, you know? The atmosphere is thick with desperation and ambition, and the pacing really drives home his internal conflict. Performances have this raw edge—especially the lead, who captures that struggle beautifully. The film doesn't shy away from the harshness of both the crime and artistic worlds, making it a unique look at how dreams can be suffocated by one's reality. Plus, the practical effects feel authentic, grounding the more dramatic moments.

Fingers has seen limited releases, mainly on VHS and a handful of DVD editions, which makes finding a good copy a bit of a hunt. There's definitely some collector interest around it, especially for those who appreciate the intersection of crime and art in cinema. Its unique storyline and atmosphere have kept it on the radar of niche collectors, but it's still not as widely known as other films of the era, adding to its allure.
