Double Feature: (In the Cut /Trapped)

I'm not sure why, but I bought the "6 Degrees Collection" (referring to'the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon'), which contains 6 Kevin Bacon films on Bluray, including "Trapped" and "In The Cut", "Flatliners", "Hollow Man" and two others I cant think of, off the top of my head. The first two are why this review is still applicable.Trapped is an excellent Suspense/Thriller, with excellent performances by all, good writing, story and character arcs."In The Cut" is where a "Buyer Beware" comes into play. The story and acting are decent enough, and is a decent 'who-dun-it'. If it weren't for some extreme content, I might have a fairly positive review for this film.I had never heard of 'In The Cut'. I didn't remember seeing it at theaters, but there's no way this film was released to theaters in this version on Bluray. This version was well beyond NC17 content, and should be legitimately rated X! There are two extremely graphic and gratuitous sex scenes in this film that were shocking.There was no reason to have content like that in the film. I can only surmise that they were worried that the writing was so terrible that they had to rely on 'sex sells' and the shock factor to draw crowds.There isn't much more to say beyond that. The rest of the films in my "6 Degrees" collection are excellent, great Bluray transfers, and a great bargain buy!I would just recommend tossing "In The Cut" in the garbage.

"In the Cut" is brilliant, and it's the only way to get it. I assume the other three movies suck.

I ordered two blu ray movies on a single disc. I received six blu ray movies including the two I ordered on two blu ray discs. Thank you!!

I was somewhat disappointed with "in the cut". not what I expected. not for kids. quite a bit more sex than I expected. so that one gets about two and a half stars from me. Now, TRAPPED, gets 4 and a half. great suspense movie. there you have kevin bacon, as the bad guy again, he does bad guys good. suspense. drama, Only reason, I bought this Blue Ray, is because is the ONLY way you can get TRAPPED in Blue Ray!!. I had it in DVD already.

I shamelessly purchased this twofer for the nude scenes of Meg Ryan in the "In the Cut" half of this two pack, hoping the bluRay processing would clarify some of the murkiness of those scenes. To its credit it is Jan Campion's unrated version but it seems her vision was to purposely film these...and in fact much of the indoor scenes of this movie in subdued lighting. I actually enjoyed the other feature - Trapped (with Charlize Theron) -more although neither movie showcased the actors at their best. That said, the BluRay treatment did offer a decent picture with clear dialogue.

Both movies are OK, but I love Charlize Theron, and these movies are both in the bluray format, and make rounding-out additions to my new bluray library.

I got this for the movie In the Cut. Haven't seen it in a while.

A very good and suspenseful movie.

Two good movies worth the buy but not the best either. I will watch them again in time. The cast and acting is good.

couldn't play the blu- ray disc on my multi regional blu - ray player for some reason , so I am very disappointed as I was very much looking forward to watching these movies .

as decribed

Why is that the US has got this type of releases just right and gives the buyer not just 1 film but 2.For the price that we are charged for these 2 films, the person buying gets to own these films packed full of some of the best actresses and actors including Charlize Theron, Jennifer Jason Leigh and more.I think there should be more of these types of releases and not just in the US.Worth every penny. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.

Why did you choose this rating? What did you or like dislike? Who would you recommend... This is not my office job... No go :-(
