It is said that in the West,pointing with a single finger at a person while talking usually means that the person speaking is criticizing the person pointed at.true is that?

More often than not it is a kinda rude way of addressing someone, or an intimidating gesture...

Conversationally it is an intimidating gesture, but in public speaking, though it can have the same meaning, it can be seen as made for emphasis. It also depends on which finger the speaker is extending.
