Cut Snake is an unexpected and invigorating piece of work, blessed with a simply brilliant central performance.

In terms of plot and motivation ... an illogical mess that no amount of carefully moody cinematography can save.

Performances keep the tension building toward an incendiary climax.

Ayres and screenwriter Blake Ayshford take a familiar premise down a surprisingly knotty path that makes for an intriguing and apprehensively sweaty yarn.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Scope

Nevertheless, lumpy, repetitive plotting keeps matters at a low simmer.

Its title suggests a hint of madness: instead, it's utterly conventional and lacking in fangs.

Rated: 2/5

I couldn't even finish this. I wasn't sure if the summary was even right. It didn't even get to the plot half way through the movie.
