A retired boxer returns to the ring for one last shot at the title but only if he can make the weight. Holed up in a room in Las Vegas he embarks on an intensive and illegal weight cut program with an unscrupulous trainer.

Morgana says: "The Cut" presents a narrative that, while not groundbreaking, manages to engage viewers with its solid character development and commendable performances. The plot unfolds in a somewhat predictable manner, lacking the twists that could elevate it beyond the ordinary. However, what it may lack in originality is compensated by a cast that brings depth and nuance to their roles. The characters are well-crafted, each adding layers to the story that keep audiences invested in their journeys. The chemistry among the actors enhances the overall experience, making even familiar tropes feel fresh at times. The performances shine particularly in emotionally charged scenes where the actors truly showcase their talent. While the film's pacing occasionally falters, leading to moments of disengagement, there are enough engaging sequences to maintain interest throughout. The cinematography captures both intimate moments and broader themes effectively, though it doesn't quite rise to artistic brilliance. In terms of entertainment value, "The Cut" sits comfortably in the middle tier—it's enjoyable enough for a casual viewing but may not leave a lasting impression. Overall, it's a film worth watching for those who appreciate strong character work and solid acting, even if it doesn’t break new ground in storytelling.
