Top Ten Weird Crime Movies. Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, Sissy Spacek — Hall of Fame badasses. Love the old Chicago footage, our beautiful city looks great. Kino 4K is a no-doubt must-upgrade for a collector.
carrieandtracyJul 21, 2026This is a really nasty crime thriller, fueled by the great pairing of Marvin and Hackman, to create this rough-around-the-edges thriller, but somehow strangely elegant in places. First off, I had a blast with this one, even if there wasn't as much Hackman/Marvin screentime…
SamApr 25, 2022PRIME CUT (1972). Is this the creepiest big studio release ever? I was in LA at the time and even I thought “this is really wrong.” What were they thinking?

People are meat until they aren’t. Very funny tough crime thriller (a Kansas set cartoon version of Point Blank) which gets funnier the more violent and mean spirited its goons become. Robert Dillon script has more well-observed odd character detail than most Elmore Leonard…
Filipe FurtadoFeb 26, 2022“You eat guts?” This movie sure does. Gene Hackman is a GREAT villain without losing any of his signature gruff charm and stands toe to toe with Lee Marvin in this heartland thriller. Some WEIRD directorial choices and a hardly legal Sissy Spacek make this thriller a CUT…
Joe LynchDec 30, 2013Imagine BULLHEAD with a sex trafficking B-plot and Gene Hackman as a beef kingpin named Mary Anne who speaks mostly in meat metaphors with Irish gangster Lee Marvin out for revenge and you have the recipe for this slab of Grade-A filet mignon. I'd say they don't make 'em…

Quite an interesting film, with a great performance from Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin was alright. The plot was very wacky, I’m not even sure what the beef was that sent Lee Marvin over there in the first place. Then it became some human trafficking. The ending was a little…
gregs1999Aug 3, 2023Every time I revisit this don’t-make-em-like-they-used-to crime actioner, I appreciate it a little more. From the slyly demented opening to the guns-blazing finale amid sunflowers and hogs, Prime Cut’s surreal pulp vibes of an urban badass tearing through a twisted rural…
More_BadassMar 10, 2013The 1970s Crime Season SOME SPOILERS HERE BUT NOT MANY So, the first film of this season of 1970s crime films starts with....well, this. I do love it when you read a synopsis for a film and you think it sounds like something you will probably enjoy, and then you…

Didn't realize it was a revenge thriller. Kinda getting tired of the subgenre. But still entertaining for being a shorter film. Don't watch if you are an animal lover
