Movie Reviews of In the Cut (Unrated Director's Cut)
Movie Review: Meg Ryan is finally out of that box.....
Summary: 5 Stars
NOTE: 10/21/10 This review has been been grammatically and structurally revised since it was more than six years old, but I have strove to preserve its original view points since I cannot revise my opinion since I have not re-watched the film.
The main reason I had wanted to view "In the Cut", was due to what I heard would be a 180degree turn for Meg Ryan. I've always found her enjoysble as an actress, though she has absolutely been type cast over and over again (I am sure in part due to herself); It is always good as an actor to stretch your wings (though not necessarily with nudity and sex scenes, that rarely helps.). I've seen most of Meg Ryan's films, and though they are mostly all at the very least entertaining romcoms. At least in this role, she attempts to prove she can somewhat capably play something other than the super perky, bubbly blondes she almost always plays.
Her role is mostly internal in this movie, she doesn't have so much dialogue (which in itself is a big departure from her normal fluffier films), though I do admit, unless you are a bad lover, you aren't going to talk through sex much, and this film is pretty loaded with sex, s that is most likely part of the lack of words, bit its more than that, this is definitely an attempt at a psycological study.
I must admit, I had never heard of, nor ever seen Mark Ruffalo before this film, and I'm not sure there is much more I could see of him (in the uncut version at least, you see, literally EVERYTHING). :p Seriously though, he oozes charisma even though his character is not necessarily a winner in terms of integrity, he will most likely win you over because he is great eye candy (as a Christian I can't deny I should not have watched this film and I wish I did not, or at least not the sex scenes, but I did. :( ) Cant undo what's done.)and charismatic to boot.
I also very much enjoyed Kevin Bacon's performance here, and it is nice to see him in such a manic role, I wish he did more roles like this, or at this point, was at least in a new movie some time soon. As for Jennifer Jason-Leigh, well, its Jennifer Jason-Lee, and if you've seen her in many movies before, you kind of know what to exect, a very screwed up character.
Overall, not an extremely effective film in terms of the thriller part or really the psychology as the end especially turned it in to a bit of a muddled mess, but I would recommend viewing it for those who are curious, to rent it because its interesting to see how Meg Ryan started transitioning from her cutsey roles to more grown-up roles (she was not a spring chicken when she did this either), and well, I guess anyone who likes movies that border on porn, cause, this is mostly glorified porn (hence why I'm not so happy now that I viewed it at all, but hey I was curious!).

Summary of In the Cut (Unrated Director's Cut)
IN THE CUT - DVD MovieBased on Susanna Moore's popular novel, In the Cut centers on Frannie (Meg Ryan), an emotionally stifled English teacher who gets steamy with sultry Malloy (Mark Ruffalo, You Can Count On Me), a cop who's investigating a series of brutal murders--but Frannie soon suspects that Malloy may be the killer. As a psychological thriller, In the Cut is heavier on psychology than thrills; the story is a skeleton that director Jane Campion (The Piano, An Angel at My Table) cloaks in one of the most nightmarish visions of urban life since Taxi Driver or Seven, accompanied by lots of explicit sex. The movie's dark tone will put some viewers off, but Ruffalo's effortless magnetism serves him well; no woman in the audience will question how quickly Ryan falls into bed with him. Also featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh and an uncredited Kevin Bacon. --Bret Fetzer
