Leave your thoughts about Cut Bank.
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca MurrayCut Bank has a clever premise and a cast that works hard to make it worthwhile to stick with the film through the clunky parts. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussOnce blood starts spurting and the old pros take control of the show, Patino's clever plotting wins viewers over. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex Roberts[John Malkovich's] performance reminds us that good acting transcends mediocre material. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyShakman is clearly going for a dark and bloody Fargo-style crime thriller, but the biggest crime in the film is just how derivative it all feels. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersThis well-cast grabber holds few surprises, but plenty of dark humor that suggests vastly superior films like "Fargo" or "Blood Simple." |
| Movie MezzanineSean BurnsWorks mainly as a throwback to those off-brand knock-offs that cluttered video store shelves in the mid-'90s. Good news, I guess, if you're nostalgic for Keys to Tulsa, Clay Pigeons or Feeling Minnesota. |
| AtHomeInHollywood.comStaci Layne WilsonWhile Cut Bank has its clever moments, funny running gags, and a few shocking death scenes, it's just too expository and derivative; what's more, it takes itself far too seriously. |
| The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinIt roars to a bitterly funny pitch every so often, but from the lack of life in the picture and such a stacked cast, you get the sense that the lunch breaks between filming resulted in more adventurous storytelling than the events that made it into the final cut. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAdmirers of small-town gamesmanship when it comes to murder will likely be the most entertained, but even the most patient with Matt Shakman's movie might find their attention wandering away while the film struggles to sustain suspense. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekLess 'Fargo Lite' than 'Fargo Flat'...a thoroughly pedestrian stroll through Coen brothers territory. |
