Sep 7 Good performances, not your typical "Rocky" story. More realistic as to the desires, means and consequences of being a fighter. It was a bit too repetitive in making its point -- the length an aging boxer will go to in order to have his last hurrah -- and so it got a bit tedious. Otherwise, interesting and reccomended. See more Matt L @Mattliptak 2d Orlando Bloom couldn’t save this mess. What should have been a gritty boxing comeback story plays more like a low-budget training documentary about starving yourself to make weight. The film barely focuses on the fight itself, instead drowning in endless flashbacks, fever-dream hallucinations, and scenes of a washed-up boxer punishing his body for "one last shot" at relevance. John Turturro shows up — and as always, he’s solid — but even he can’t rescue a movie this unfocused. You keep waiting for momentum, for emotional payoff, for something to justify the runtime, and it never arrives. By the end it feels less like a sports drama and more like a cautionary slideshow on dehydration. An empty, exhausting flop.

Entertaining and Turturro should be in line for a best supporting actor nom at the major awards. Not everyone's cup of tea but I did enjoy it. See more Arthur R Dec 2 There's a lot to like about this film... gritty, unflinching, showing a side of the fight game that doesn't get enough attention, however, it's certainly knocked down a few pegs for the over-the-top ridiculously unneccessary ending. See more Corey J @FilmGuyCorey Nov 28 The performances out of Orlando Bloom, John Turturro, and particularly Caitriona Baife were pretty great but the writing and low-budget nature of the movie left a lot to be desired. Some of the interactions felt so mechanical. I put that more on the writing than the acting because they felt like unnatural things somebody would be doing even in a hyper-stressed situation like this movie was portraying. There was some nice psychological grit in here, though. See more Keith B B @Okbullard Nov 15 Wow this film was not even close to what I initially expected, it was so intense. Orlando Bloom was really good in this. I've always really liked John Turturro and he stole every scene. It's interesting the title The Cut applied to at least three different events in this film, what a great choice. See more Read all reviews
