"This enchantingly perverse fairy-tale builds toward a sunflower meadow out of Van Gogh." - Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion.org

"Ritchie keeps the action fast-paced and the details gritty." - Keith Phipps, AVClub.com

"Prime Cut is a brutalist satire of the America the silent majority was trying to hold on to masquerading as a mob-enforcer tale." - Charles Taylor, Opening Wednesday at a Theater or Drive-In Near You: The Shadow Cinema of the American '70s

Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, Sissy Spacek: Together, they're murder.

Hollywood legends Lee Marvin (Monte Walsh) and Gene Hackman (The Package) square off in one of the most explosive screen confrontations ever. Marvin is an underworld enforcer sent to Kansas City to collect money from Hackman, a mysterious mobster who has no intention of paying up. A meat packing plant fronts for Hackman's real business dealings: drugs and prostitution. Before it ends, hoods will be ground into sausages and beautiful women will be sold like cattle. Michael Ritchie's breakneck direction propels the action along with the speed of bullets. From a shoot-out at a country fair to the final cataclysmic showdown, Prime Cut is prime excitement! Punctuated with ruthless performances by Marvin and Hackman, and featuring the in-the-flesh screen debut of acting great Sissy Spacek (Carrie), this gangster movie hits hard and cuts deep.
