VHS Movie Reviews of In the Cut (Dol Slip)Movie Review: video on demand Summary: 1 StarsBe careful ordering the so-called "video on demand," as I ordered it and paid about $10, and then the so-called "video" was nothing more than a slide show. It was not a movie at all. Amazon refused to refund my money for this piece of junk. This was a major rip-off and I will never order another "video on demand" from Amazon again.
Movie Review: In the Cut Summary: 1 StarsI never recieved the Video. Says it was shipped but never arrived. Can someone help me?
Movie Review: Still thinking about it Summary: 4 StarsThis dark, gritty, sexual film drew me in the minute it started and kept me there until the end...I was surprised at how much I liked this film...at times I felt like I was eavesdropping...witnessing two real people engaged in...well, you know....Meg Ryan proves she can handle film noir, and Mark Ruffalo....WOW...I can't get his real, sultry performance out of my head...perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon viewing..
Movie Review: The point is, is that Mark Ruffalo is naked Summary: 5 Starswho cares if its a bad movie. Dont people realise that Mark Ruffalo naked cancels that fact out?come on people!
Movie Review: Too ridiculous Summary: 1 StarsI did not have any preconceived notions in mind when I picked this film up. After reading the back, I figured it would be "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" with a thriller twist to it. But frankly, it was just bad. It went on too long. It is never good when you think: When will this be over?
I may spoil some portions of the movie, Be warned!
Meg Ryan gets kudos from me for trying something outside her rather limited range, but it was just weird. She is supposed to be a sexualized, intelligent, loner teacher living in NYC. Oxy moron? She sees too much of a couple one afternoon, and then this woman ends up "disarticulated." From this heinous act of violence, the story unfolds: woman meets cops, cop becomes infatuated, constant red herrings pop up all over.
Mark Ruffalo, is surprisingly convincing as a sexually degenerate cop (or maybe he was just supposed to be 'one of the guys'?). Aside from the bad mustache, he was the shining light in this film. Jennifer Jason Leigh is Meg Ryan's sister in a strange part, where frankly she never really fits in. Kevin Bacon has a surprise cameo, which is frightening, but his 3 minutes are easily lost in the shuffle.
The film has too many red herrings, making it easy to figure out who the actual murderer is. And frankly, the ending was boring. It was predictable and has been done many, many times before.
I will leave you with this: if the idea of this film intrigues you, watch some old NYPD Blue episodes and then watch "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" both are head and shoulders above the acting and plot of this film.
Summary of In the Cut (Dol Slip)Based on Susanna Moore's popular novel, In the Cut centers on Frannie (Meg Ryan), an emotionally stifled English teacher who gets steamy with sultry Malloy (Mark Ruffalo, You Can Count On Me), a cop who's investigating a series of brutal murders--but Frannie soon suspects that Malloy may be the killer. As a psychological thriller, In the Cut is heavier on psychology than thrills; the story is a skeleton that director Jane Campion (The Piano, An Angel at My Table) cloaks in one of the most nightmarish visions of urban life since Taxi Driver or Seven, accompanied by lots of explicit sex. The movie's dark tone will put some viewers off, but Ruffalo's effortless magnetism serves him well; no woman in the audience will question how quickly Ryan falls into bed with him. Also featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh and an uncredited Kevin Bacon. --Bret Fetzer
