Customer Rating: Summary: Disappearing video Comment: The dvd arrived on time. The first 5 or 10 minutes of the dvd was excellent, then the video started to disappear off and on, some times more off than on, until finally I gave up and ejected the dvd. This dvd is unusable and I do not recommend buying this dvd from this source. I did not contact this vendor about the dvd because I have not had good luck contacting used dvd vendors. I have learned to take my losses and they are piling up. Customer Rating: Summary: It was a nice Movie Comment: This movie wasnt bad and it wasnt the best. The best Movie I seen so far by Chuck is Code of Silence but back the review. I liked this because Chuck is still fast in this movie even at 65. He was getting beat up too much tho. Overall this movie was good wasnt the best. But it something nice to watch Customer Rating: Summary: I cut this film off my must-have list of movies. Zero start out of 5 Comment: The acting, dialogue and special effect are exactly like those of TV shows. They're dull and pretentious. There's no excitement, and suspense at all. For example, the opening scene showed a hostage girl killed by her kidnapper but I did not felt touched at all. I got no emotion or entertaining from watching this DVD.
I prefer Chuck Norris in Delta Force 2 and the movie in which he fought with Bruce Lee. (I forget its title). They're full of action and look very real. Customer Rating: Summary: Dull Action Movie with Generic Stunts Comment: In "The Cutter" 65-year-old Chuck Norris plays John Shepherd, cop-turned-private eye who is embroiled in a conspiracy to kidnap an aged diamond cutter. Shepherd saves the life of the cutter's niece Elizabeth (Joanna Pakula) and with her reveals the secrets about the world's hugest diamonds. The story is not good, sometimes terribly and needlessly contrived. It is still serviceable, but obviously it is not "Marathon Man."
Sadly actions are not great either. Chuck Norris throwing punches and shooting a gun surely looks in better shape than Steven Seagal, but that's not saying much because the action scenes and the stunt work themselves are just boring. Shoot-pouts are generic, and the car chase is impossible and unexciting. When the name of Daniel Bernhardt who can do impressive martial arts stunts appears in the opening credits, I expected something good. Sorry, but no such luck; he is completely wasted, not given enough chance to show his skills.
Which leaves us with not-so-great acting from the supporting actors like Joanna Pakula, Tracy Scoggins and Bernie Kopell and silly one-liners from the star. Don't miss the one when a hapless thug is thrown out of the window. That made me really groan. Customer Rating: Summary: Entertaining Comment: Chuck Norris is back in a real movie. He's a private investigator specialized in locating missing people and when a Jewish diamond cutter is kidnapped, his daughter comes to Chuck for help.
¨
"The Cutter" is no masterpiece but it's an entertaining movie and above average for production company Nu Image Entertainment, whose movies sometimes suffer from incoherent writing. Chuck Norris fans will be pleased to see Chuck, and the rest of the cast make a good job too.
It's an entertaining movie, but perhaps not one you'd want to watch again and again. Chuck Norris fans would want to have this movie in their collection. Anyone else looking for 90 minutes of entertainment, rent it.
