After a career-ending defeat, a former champion trains for redemption -- but as obsession takes hold and reality unravels, he may be spiraling into something far more terrifying.

It's not a great movie, but I did appreciate the extremes that [Orlando Bloom] would go to transform himself.

What looks at first like a boxing drama tries to invent “weight-loss drama” as a genre all its own. The all-round exertion is immense, but the experience is a bizarre ordeal.

2/4

While the film may not go about its expected narrative path, it never quite manages to make itself into anything interesting or edifying and winds up wasting an undeniably committed performance from Orlando Bloom in the process.

This Cut is so shallow, it doesn’t even need stitches.

62/100

In a world full of boxing dramas, the best and possibly only reason to watch this is is that it might be Orlando Bloom’s best work ever. So, I guess you could say it just barely made the cut.

Despite the lack of in-ring action (perhaps the result of a low budget)... The Cut makes for a mostly powerful watch, particularly in its first three-quarters.
