Critics Consensus

Cut Bank contains typically outstanding work from its solid veteran cast, but it's lost in a dull morass of predictably derivative crime thriller clichés.

Geoff Pevere

Globe and Mail

Quite apart from the equally apparent lack of the Coens's extraordinary visual acuity, Cut Bank comes up short because it simply presumes that guilt and evil already live in town, just waiting for us to arrive and see the show.

Rated: 2/4

Toronto Star

Deficient in charisma, Hemsworth lacks both the grit and grin that his complicated role demands.

Rated: 1.5/4

San Francisco Chronicle

Like many of its brethren, the movie seems to love itself while hating its characters.

Rated: 1/4

Terry Staunton

Radio Times

Malkovich impresses as the soft-spoken centre around which the escalating troubles revolve, while the heavyweight supporting cast features good work from Billy Bob Thornton... and Oliver Platt as a fast-talking postal executive from the big city.

Rated: 3/5

what a waste of time. Good case but with horrible dialog, story and directing. At times I thought they were trying to inject subtle humor but it was so bad I wasn't even sure of that.

OK movie with several A-list stars to keep it interesting. And just enough “Country-creepy” to make it fun.

3.25 stars. Complex plot that I enjoyed, despite Liam Hemsworth not being much of an actor. The rest of the acting was well done, however.

Na pequena cidade de Cut Bank, em Montana, um jovem está gravando um vídeo com sua namorada quanto ele filma e testemunha o assassinato do carteiro da cidade, Georgie Wits. A partir daí, inicia-se uma investigação e outras mortes vão acontecendo. A estrutura do filme lembra um film noir, só que em vez de ser filmado à noite, como os clássicos, tudo acontece ao ar livre e de dia. O roteiro força um pouco ao criar o personagem de Derby Milton, como um psicopata, Talvez o outro deslize seja o casal principal. Liam Hemsworth e Teresa Palmer não tem o carisma necessário e Liam chega a ser inexpressivo várias vezes. Por outro lado, o elenco mais veterano aproveita tudo o que o roteiro oferece, mesmo que não seja muito. Malkovich, Thornton e, principalmente, Bruce Dern fazem o filme crescer quando surgem na tela. Pena que o roteiro não os desenvolva tanto. O outro destaque é Michael Stuhlbarg que consegue ao mesmo tempo passar a situação de incômodo que ele causa, como a de medo. Com um roteiro um pouco mais redondo e um melhor protagonista, poderia ter sido um filme melhor.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Deficient would be the right word to describe it. And I don't know how in a movie with a very decent cast of veteran (and excellent) actors, Liam Hemsworth has such a prominent role. Stiff like no other, with no charisma at all, like he's always been... The only reason for him to get roles in films is because of his physique, nothing else

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
