âThe Cutâ Review: Orlando Bloom Gives an All-Time Great Performance in an Uneven Boxer Drama
Bloomâs protagonist â referred to as âthe Boxerâ in press notes, and frustratingly, nothing at all in the movie â can be seen engaged in a professional boxing bout exactly once in âThe Cut.â During the filmâs brief prologue, the accomplished prizefighter seems well on his way to another victory, when something mysterious and unseen distracts him from off-screen â something in the ether that only he can see â resulting in his opponent getting the upper hand and opening a deep, career-threatening gash above his eye.
