| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumNasty stockyard mob tale filled with human link-sausages. |
| User ReviewAlex SVery gritty crime thriller with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman, Sissy Spacek was good in this. |
| User ReviewIsaac JIf meat, boobies, gangsters, prostitute auctions, Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, and a nubile Sissy Spacek don't appeal to you than you are an asshole. Or a woman. An asshole or a woman. |
| User ReviewMichael WGreat movie, especially the bit where the combine harvester destroys the cadillac |
| User ReviewPaul RAfter receiving a package of hotmandogs, the remnants of the crumbling Chicago Mob send Lee Marvin down to Kansas City to fetch their money and exact some serious punishment on Gene Hackman's gutmuncher cattle goon. Prime Cut is one of the all time great crime stories of the 1970s and it does not get the love it deserves these days. City Slicker Mobsters descend into Middle America Hell with gawking shotgun blonde farmboys as demons. Maybe not my favorite Marvin movie (Point Blank is A No. 1, see below), his satchel full of guns toting Devlin is my favorite Marvin character and probably the closest he's come to capturing the Parker of Richard Stark's novels. Gene Hackman's Mary Ann is sooooo vile and disgusting, a spiritual predecessor to his rich rancher from The Hunting Party and you do not want to be anywhere near him when he's 1. feasting on cow pieces 2. Wrassling with his Hotdog wielding brother. And Sissy Spacek has never been better than she is here as the girlflesh Poppy; utterly sweet & innocent while also managing to be nowhere near sweet & innocent. Prime Cut is a Great Movie, but don't make the mistake I did: eating my Chipotle Burrito Bowl dinner while the meat packing credits churned on. Unpleasant. VF. |
| User ReviewJames AI saw this movie about 10 times back in college. It appealed to the sophomoric part of me back then. Lousy acting, but the scene in the hot dog factory was classic (I actually worked in a hot dog factory back then) and it was Sissy Spacek's first role - H-m-m-m-m Sissy Spacek... Best lines - Lee Marvin: You eat guts!". Gene Hackman : "Like 'em". |
| User ReviewJan DRefreshingly sleezy and ultraviolent oddball neo-noir from "Smile" director Michael Ritchie. Lee Marvin plays Nick Devlin, a Chicago hitman sendt to Kansas City by the mob to collect a 500.000 $ debt from a sleezy cattle baron named Mary Ann (Gene Hackman). Just sit back and enjoy the carnage! They don't make men like Lee Marvin anymore, and they sure as hell don't make movies like this either. |
| User ReviewCresswell SHackman is one of the few actors to hold his own against Lee Marvin. |
| User ReviewAndrew WUnbelievable. This is Lee Marvin at his best...most ultimate country road car driving scene ever! |
| User ReviewJon Bhackman's bizarre manwrestling is masterfully juxtaposed against marvin's white loafers. |
