If you are at all intelligent, if you like your movies to make sense, do not watch this movie. I won't spoil the ending. But it's the ending that spoils the movie. The first 85 minutes of this movie are great. The acting is excellent, and the story is interesting. It seems to really be going somewhere. But then at the end, things happen that simply cannot logically happen. And there is no supernatural or mystical element to this movie that could explain away the massive, glaring inconsistencies. In the end, you're simply left with a story that could not have concluded the way it does. If you're like me, you'll be left hacked off and wanting answers. But don't look to the director's commentary on the DVD. Because the first thing Jeff Probst tells you in that commentary is that they aren't going to discuss the movie. Instead, they're going to discuss how to make a movie! Imagine that. The creators of this absolute turd of a movie are going to tell you how to make your own movie. Wonderful!

Spoiler first: If you have a preference for resolved endings that close the books, happily or otherwise, then this film may leave you just this side of angry. On the other hand, if you like Hitchcock, 'Outer Limits' and/or 'Twilight Zone' you'll probably be very happy. I would have been better off with a warning.Note: I saw the broadcast TV version, no swearing.The movie is cleverly constructed to make you *think* while moving closer and closer to the edge of your seat. The viewer absolutely *must* pay attention or loose a lot of important little things as well as the giant, surprise U-turns/twists.For my part I approached the movie with skepticism because I have turned over found wallets and bank bags with no thought, no ethical dilemma. I don't understand the minds of those who have to think about the right thing to do. But this film is so well done I forgot all about myself and became caught up as though I were one of the walls in the room.Speaking of walls, it just now hit me that the main characters never leave the room in which they are playing poker. Not once did I feel claustrophobic, never did I come out of the movie from 'stale set' fatigue.So I recommend "Finder's Fee" for those with a yen for suspense, and I hope you enjoy it!

I thought this movie was fun and interesting, the story is simple, but the modern setting and the idea of the lottery ticket made it attention getting.For a movie with no great effects and sounds, i could not walk away while it was on....i did not want to miss the ending twist. Yes, the movie is predictable to the point that you new there would be a grab you ending, but I like expecting that and you never know who is at the door.The characters all had their own querkyness about them that draws you, as we can all relate to one of them. I give this movie two thumbs up and suggest everyone sit down and enjoy a simple yet interesting movie.

What you'll get with "Finder's Fee" is 100 minutes inside an apartment with four poker buddies, a bus driver who has come to claim his lost wallet (JE Jones), a cop (Forster), and a couple of minutes of Carly Pope and an old lady. This claustrophobic journeyman drama is chock full of unnecessary filler including lots of lame guy talk, an annoying cop who keeps popping up for no apparent reason, and a $6 million lottery ticket. At issues is, of course, who's going to get the six mil? A marginal small screen watch which Tivo gave an unusually high three stars which suckered me into the film, "Finder's Fee" will require some serious dumbing down to avoid taking issue with the many likely possible outcomes in favor of an unlikely outcome contrived for entertainment value. Apparently a failed attempt to be a tight, dialogue intensive, character driven, one set drama (eg: The Big Kahuna, Glengarry Glen Ross, etc.), this flick is couch potato fodder. Turn brain off before viewing. (C+)
