Absolutely Fantastic

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Somehow I got the feeling that they left out a considerable amount of scenes that make much more sense of the whole drugs angle in the movie. The moment Stephen Baldwin goes undercover you will get a "Point Break" flashback and will realize how great that movie is compared to this little movie. But that said I must admit that "Cutaway" has some amazing sky diving scenes. Those stunts alone is reason enough to see this movie. And probably the director realized that since he didn't make much of the plot. Tom Berenger is great as always but thought he was far too underused as he could have provided much more depth to his character and story if he had more scenes. The interactions between Ron Silver and Stephen Baldwin could have been avoided entirely since they add nothing to the conflicts an undercover agent has doing his job. Since it already is made clear from the first scene that Stephen Baldwin is not doing his job out of a sense of duty but simply to be the best in whatever activity he is presented with. The scenes with Ron Silver create an expectation of an impact that never occurs at least not as big as it could have been. So in short forget about the plot and just enjoy the beautiful skydiving scenes!

this film was average. the story was great, premise great , cinematography great but the acting was poor so very very poor i loved the film but really wished the main character would plummet into the ground but the massively redeeming bits were they actually jump and lines from the script actually shine through the crap that is the acting, are well worth watching the film when the commentators are commentating is absolutely great its amusing any way worth watching if u enjoy good cinematography and cheese because that is all the acting was, i suppose it depends on point of view you may wish to stay clear of it if you skydive the ending is massively amusing, though not in a good way.

To my surprise I actually was able to enjoy this movie. By no means spectacular it did have a different story line than I've never seen before and Berenger/Baldwin both contributed the most to this. Rodman is always horrible, but as was said before he doesn't have too many lines which is a very good thing. The ending was surprising and all in all it was harmless. Would make a very good rental night.Final Summary:Movies : Heck noBuy on DVD : Nah (one of those you'd only watch once or twice)Rental: Definitely, though don't make it a priority

This movie is a head rush. From the beginning scene to very end, the action is out of sight. The plot is basic, but still gets the point across. I loved watching how people trained to perfect their sport. I have been skydiving a few times and this movie sent chills up and down my spine. This movie is a worth see movie and if you don't feel like skydiving after seeing this movie, you'd better check your pulse to see if you are still living!
