Review of Cut and Run (1985) by Mike P — 21 Jun 2008
Thoroughly nasty plunge into the seedy world of international drug dealing. The centre of the film is a cut-price re-run of Apocalypse Now, with a death-loving renegade colonel lording it over a tribe of natives and committing atrocities against those in the drug trade.
Deodato is a consummate action director - no one quite conjures up jungle-based unease like him; the media world is nearly as sordid here as in Cannibal Holocaust; and the gore-moments are really eye-poppingly gratuitous.
All adds up to a really foul vision of human depravity, although the script is no carefully-plotted machine.
