In the Cut (2003)
3/10
Lifeless acting, bad choices
2 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
So the movie is about Meg Ryan trying to be satiated sexually and making nothing but bad choices: at the beginning she know the detective on the case of a murder at her door might be the murdered son of course she sleeps with him. Her ex- boyfriend (Kevin bacon) is a hit but she does not tell him to get lost and in fact she does not tell the detective. She knows the detective has a Tattoo that was seen by the first of 3 murders so rather than tell him to clarify that she avoids the discussion and so the killer kills her sister. Not surprisingly, the kurderer was the jealous and nosy partner of the detective.

All the actors seemed bored and just interested in masturbating because they did not seem interested in saying their lines. The story as is would have made sense if Meg Ryan was doing heroin/ fentanyl and mark ruffalo and his partner was a cop on the take/ betting/ extorting money from shop owners.

Meg Ryan just seemed like she wanted to be cute again as if it was 1997 all over again. (This must have been when she was divorcing Quaid).

Honestly the screenplay was good as was the general plot but the script needed considerable focus. It just seemed that Meg Ryan was more interested in having sex than not doing stupid things with the wrong people.

Personally - don't waste your time.
