The Hand

The Hand (1981) – Michael Caine, who never met a script he couldn’t remodel his house with, gives an atypical but good performance in a film that seems to have a solid foundation but little more; as you might expect, the premise serves to fill the main character’s life with jerks and worse as well as to make the film rather predictable; one wonders if it wouldn't have been more interesting had it been played straight from the psychological angle. 5
