So I joined a group that intends on focusing on one director at a time and watching one of their films every week. So to start we’re doing Edgar Wright with his very first film A Fistful of Fingers. This movie is simply not good. But what’s crazy is how much of Wright you can see in his first film. The nicest thing I can say about this film is that it’s a well made college student film. Most definitely a product of the 90’s it crawled out of. Though some humor is pretty good I think my score for this could have been changed had there not been so much overt racism in it. With not just the briefest moment of black face but Indigenous characters being played by white people in a very stereotypical way. I get that it’s parody and they were making fun of western stereotypes but they could have done it in a much better way and could have not used white people. And sure, there’s a lack of Indigenous people from America in England, but if you can’t make it work, don’t make it. This has some really funny gags that are either overused or just not used as well as they could have been. There’s honestly a lot to like here but so much of it is handled in the worst way possible that the movie falls flat of being anything short of an incoherent mess of a movie. I would only suggest this to anyone doing what we are right now and making their way through Edgar Wright’s films. It’ll be a week before I do this again. Next up is Shaun of the Dead which I have already seen but next week is Hot Fuzz which I have not seen yet. I’m giving A Fistful of Fingers a disappointing 4/10. -Tyler.
