The Middle Finger

Must watch film, so much better than any MCU film!

It's hard to make a super-hero movie these days that stands out, even more so on a small budget. The Middle Finger packs a punch with originality and deadpan humour. Dennis is an insecure and lonely teenager who is ridiculed by his school mates and attacked by bully Ferg. Dennis comes in touch with an alien who has selected him to help protect the earth from an evil threat. Dennis is bestowed with special powers which enables him to change into a symbol of justice, a hero called The Middle Finger. The film might not have the big action sequences you would find in a Marvel movie. But give it a chance and you will find a uniquely charming slice of trash cinema with plenty of laughs and a new kind of super-hero.

The Middle Finger is a unique mumble-core superhero movie finally the fusion of the Duplass Brothers and Saban we were waiting for! The film is very funny and very professionally made with a unique off beam tone to the performances reminiscent of movies like Eagle Vs Shark. The tone bounces around, in a way that's not jarring but instead refreshing. There is also a cool soundtrack of punky Irish indie rock. The movie is currently available to watch on Troma now so its worth singing up for a free trial!

Why not ?

A goofy story with nothing but silly to offer, which is the charm of this dumb movie.

It's very fine for cheap laffs. Give it at least 20 minutes.

Very slow, very very slow. The acting is very slow. You have to wait for them to say or do the most obvious things or reaction, talking, speaking, walking etc.. Hahaha... It gives you a few laughs but overall cringe.

Watch it if you like watching nonsense sometimes.

I'm just amazed people actually didn't talked about this movie on the time of it's release year.

It's the kind of movie to talk about with friends and recommend them just to waste their time.

But yes overall it's such a bad movie that it makes it actually a wonderful movie for eccentric movie lovers. So bad that it's actually good.

I have mixed feelings about this movie.

The hero was superb/ La- Me at the same time.
