PLOT SYNOPSIS


In the underbelly of lower Manhattan, Frannie Avery (MEG RYAN), a reserved English professor, becomes obsessed after seeing more than she should of an impassioned couple. After the young woman turns up dead, Frannie is questioned by a homicide detective (MARK RUFFALO) who draws her into a liberating but disturbing erotic encounter. As the body count rises, familiar suspects begin to emerge.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2/5


No features were included, so the old Sony DVD is the only option for the commentary and featurettes.

 

VIDEO – 3½/5, AUDIO – 4¼/5


In the Cut comes to Blu-ray from Mill Creek though this was already released as part of a 2-film set with Trapped. This is likely the same transfer and as such this looks fine in high-definition but not exactly exceptional as it is a darkly lit movie with lots of handheld camera work. Detail, when the image was stable, was okay while colors are very tampered down.

The disc includes a basic DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track which offers fine dialogue levels and the depth is more than adequate.
