Audience Member This movie is like watching paint dry on a wall, and then having the cool-aid man crash through it. Except for the very end of the movie, nothing happens but people talking. Even the poker they are playing is boring. It is hard to comment on the director's skills, because it does not appear any direction took place.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/20 Full Review Audience Member Crossed paths with this movie while looking for something "included with Prime" and, well, I saw some playing cards and am a sucker for anything "gambling" ... it kept my attention and would recommend to friends. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member An underrated gem. I first saw this in 2006 or so and was captivated. I waited years to find it again and I'm glad it still holds up. A compelling story, good acting by Ryan Reynolds and James Earl Jones, and a dope ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review anthony b Gets 2 stars on a technicality because it is watchable... like a car wreck is watchable. Finder's Fee is a lame, textbook indie that is as harmless as it is vanilla and as vanilla as it is unremarkable. Not until the "finale" when everything goes wildly wrong tonally to the extent that you can envision the screenwriter scrambling to finish his script before he completely loses interest, does Finder's Fee become entertaining... on a technicality. Minus the lead who I of course recognized as Amanda Beckett's cousin from Can't Hardy Wait ( a far better film) the cast is solid. Mathew Lillard is basically a human cartoon character, which is always fun, Ryan Reynolds (in his nobody years) is likable like all Canadians, they even got that Irish guy whose name I can't remember to play an endearing wussy, and James Earl Jones rounds out the numbers adequately given his age. Unfortunately, there were several moments when Mr. Jones was struggling to breathe so much he sounded a little like Darth Vader. I joke but it was actually pretty depressing. I went into this film expecting a cheap Rounders knockoff but for a story that revolves around playing cards, Finder's Fee has nothing to do with the game of Poker, probably because filmmaker Jeff Probst knows as much about Poker as he does filmmaking, which isn't nearly as much as he knows about hosting reality TV shows like Survivor... yeah, look it up. lol Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good twisty thriller and director debut fore 'survivor" host jeff probst Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
