The Cut – REVIEW

As a seasoned movie critic, I found myself drawn into a compelling tale of redemption and grit, set against the vibrant backdrop of Las Vegas. The protagonist, our heavyweight boxer, finds himself in a precarious situation: thirty pounds overweight, barely a week to shed it all before his title fight. Initial attempts at dieting and exercise seem futile, and it’s apparent that traditional methods won’t cut it.

Enter Boz (John Turturro), a man who embodies the phrase “any means necessary.” Dieting? Forget about it. Workouts are for the weak-hearted. Instead, Boz subjects our boxer to an excruciating regimen that borders on the illegal and inhumane. The journey is as grueling to watch as it is for the boxer to endure.

Boz’s methods are relentless, pushing our protagonist to his physical and emotional limits. Sweat is extracted with an unyielding ferocity, blood is drawn, and drugs are administered frequently, placing our boxer in perilously dangerous conditions. The scenes depicting Boz’s methods are harrowing, as there’s no safety net for the boxer – Turturro repeatedly warns him, “There is no ripcord!”

This movie offers a raw and unapologetic portrayal of determination, perseverance, and the lengths one will go to achieve their dreams. Despite its grim subject matter, it’s a must-watch for anyone who appreciates gritty dramas with a touch of realism.

You might initially think, “Weren’t The Hardys already part of NXT this year?” Indeed, they were, and since then, they’ve made multiple appearances there. However, these appearances are a result of their current association with TNA, which WWE has been collaborating closely with for over a year now. This collaboration even extends to WWE talent holding TNA Championships.

4 Horror Movie Sequels Even Better Than the Original

Four major horror series have sequels that many would argue outperform (or at least match) their original versions. These include the Chucky and Jason franchises, which didn’t achieve their peak success with their first installments.

In this rephrased version, I changed “IP installments” to “series,” used “outperform” as a synonym for “beat,” and replaced “peaked” with “achieved peak success.” Additionally, I added “many would argue” to make the sentence more polite, and “these include” for clarity. Finally, I clarified that the franchises didn’t reach their peak success with their first installments.

Ash Ketchum’s Worst 10 Pokémon in the Anime

Although Ash has managed to collect many strong Pokémon throughout his journey due to his ambition of catching them all, some underperforming Pokémon consistently held back his overall victory record. These Pokémon didn’t contribute much to Ash’s battle history as they either demonstrated poor performance in battles, seemed unenthusiastic about fighting, or Ash himself lacked the necessary skills to train them effectively. Often, these weaker Pokémon would remain out of the spotlight during crucial moments in the competition. Even when given the opportunity, they often faltered against relatively weak opponents, leading spectators to question their potential if properly developed.
