    Thoroughly entertaining

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

    Duplass meets Saban finally

    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!

    Don't bother !!

    This movie very very boring...first of all the superhero costume..come on man, that's too much, could not think of anything smaller. Second, in every scene only 3 to 4 people. In all the shots we see only one , two or three people in total, nobody on the streets, expect in one scene where we see a lot of cars. Should have used some extra people to make viewers feel that they are watching a movie. In school scene also we see 4 to 5 students and a single teacher that's all.

    I understand its a small budget movie but still if you want people to appreciate your work, you have to put a bit more effort in everything. I would not recommend this movie for all the above and more reasons unless you want to find out yourself.

    I will give it 3/10.

    Total RUBBISH

    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.

    A new symbol of Justice

    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.
