Review of Prime Cut

Prime Cut (1972)
5/10
Disappointing
25 August 2005
What a disappointment. Just because something is wacky doesn't mean it's good. I like how Lee Marvin is supposed to be such a good, wholesome guy by rescuing a woman and then pervert-stares at her while she dresses. And how a woman mistreated by men since she was a child suddenly completely feels comfortable and in love with an absolute stranger. The chase scene in the wheat field. Why is it that in one shot it looks like they are going to be chopped up, then in the next they appear to be a safe distance away, and then suddenly they are barely ahead of the combine again? What a joke. Finally, real creative ending. Please tell me, where in the world were all of these now "free" ladies going to go? I got it, just run them around in the field laughing and everything is going to be perfect. By the way, I thought they were all drugged up and hardly able to move? The "there's a difference between a beast and a man" line. Wow, that is just life-altering dialog there. Very, very average movie, if even that.
