Critic Reviews for Cut off

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (7)

"Cut Off" is the equivalent of an absorbing if preposterous cinematic pag-turner; you simply can't stop watching.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
Brutal serial killer thriller from a horror director, thriller novelist and forensic consultant. Couple of minor issues with the writing, but tension and performances all excellent.

Alix Turner
Filmotomy
Muscular filmmaking, harsh winter weather and medical-grade grisliness give this German thriller an edge even before the script starts digging into the characters' messy emotional states.

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
Cut Off is a slickly made thriller. Expect twists, turns, revelations, and red herrings as director Christian Alvart expertly guides you towards the finale. It might hit all the tropes, but Alvart does it with such finesse that all is forgiven.

Cut Off mixes some improbable elements with a great cast and a keen eye for the cinematic. It's a cracking crime caper that will leave you considering some unsettling questions in quiet moments afterwards.

Cut-Off is a beautifully crafted, highly polished film with a great deal going for it.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
a story of revenge, though revenge of a far more complex & convoluted nature than hot-headed Paul originally has in mind - a revenge that exposes the tensions between public & private notions of justice against inveterate, unreformable criminality
