Based on Newton Thornburg's novel Cutter and Bone, Ivan Passer's much-overlooked thriller might just be the last great movie of the New Hollywood, an
intelligent, probing neo-noir deserving of a place alongside Roman Polanski's Chinatown and Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye.
An enigmatic, elliptical mystery featuring one of Jeff Bridges' greatest roles as gigolo-turned amateur sleuth Richard Bone, Cutter's Way is a lost American gem ripe for rediscovery on the big screen.
