Review of Finger Man

Finger Man (1955)
3/10
Tame mechanical dialogue with weak casting and a lame ending
29 October 2019
The dialogue was very canned-not natural/full of platitudes and for the good looking Ms. Castle to fall for the ordinary looking Mr. Lovejoy was not believable. Forrest Tucker did not come across as the evil mob boss he was supposed to be playing and his lines were mechanical and delivered mechanically. As someone else here mentioned, the casting of Lovejoy as a crook was not credible as he came across as too nice a guy but his quick fists were also not credible as he was always hitting bigger guys. The ending of the movie was pretty lame/not very imaginative at all. Not exactly Jimmy Cagney in White Heat.
