Critics Consensus

Cut Bank contains typically outstanding work from its solid veteran cast, but it's lost in a dull morass of predictably derivative crime thriller clichés.

2/4

Quite apart from the equally apparent lack of the Coens's extraordinary visual acuity, Cut Bank comes up short because it simply presumes that guilt and evil already live in town, just waiting for us to arrive and see the show.

1.5/4

Deficient in charisma, Hemsworth lacks both the grit and grin that his complicated role demands.

1/4

Like many of its brethren, the movie seems to love itself while hating its characters.

3/5

Malkovich impresses as the soft-spoken centre around which the escalating troubles revolve, while the heavyweight supporting cast features good work from Billy Bob Thornton... and Oliver Platt as a fast-talking postal executive from the big city.

While it's got a fluid, interconnected crime narrative, Cut Bank just can't cut it when it comes to finding its own identity.

A couple of unrealistic moments spoiled this or else it was 3 stars.

what a waste of time. Good case but with horrible dialog, story and directing. At times I thought they were trying to inject subtle humor but it was so bad I wasn't even sure of that.

OK movie with several A-list stars to keep it interesting. And just enough “Country-creepy” to make it fun.

3.25 stars. Complex plot that I enjoyed, despite Liam Hemsworth not being much of an actor. The rest of the acting was well done, however.
