This movie left you thinking about all that could be. Kept me interested and excited about what was to come next. The ending was not predictable, and I like that. Robin Williams did a great job capturing the character. I really... Full review

Wouldn't it be great if one could just be able to cut parts of one's life and make that life appears as though a person had only good qualities and helped humanity in some sort of way? Alas, by editing those... Full review

It might have opened up an avenue to a better film, too.....The Final Cut' has an interesting premise....hinges on its concept, the best thing about it is probably Williams, who shows yet again what a fine actor he's matured into..... ... Full Review

However, it is a nice debut film from Omar Naim....Naim is also careful to not embellish his world too far, keeping a tight leash on the tricky (and eventually unexplained) backstory to the cutter way....is a subdued experience that can't overcome some critical editing flaws.....you just might be able to see a gifted director making his first bold step.....Cut' is glacially paced, but Naim is respectful to the audience by keeping Alan's plot thread constantly dangling to maintain interest..... ...

about filmmaking itself-that it needed to be a great movie in order to be any good at all.....he gloss over some disturbing footage of the man taking advantage of his underage daughter.....The ingenious concept behind Omar Naim's The Final Cut raises so many tantalizing questions-about morality, about memory.... ...

These details alone would have made a great movie. betrayed only by the weak script ... Full Review
