Cutter's Way 4K UHD + Blu-ray

'Cutter's Way' Director: Ivan Passer (1981) Radiance Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray | 4K restoration

Alex Cutter is a boozy, belligerent and deeply cynical Vietnam veteran whose encounter with a landmine during the war has left him minus an eye, a leg and an arm. When his drifter playboy friend is falsely accused of murder, Cutter sets out for revenge in his own inimitable style.

Featuring career-best performances from a cast including Jeff Bridges, John Heard and Stephen Elliott, a memorable score from Jack Nitzsche and pitch-perfect direction from Ivan Passer, the cynical and devastating Cutter’s Way is one of the defining films of the post-Vietnam, post-Watergate era - a defiant howl of frustration at the corruption of the American dream, and one of the most essential California noirs ever made.
