The Cut 2024

The 2024 film The Cut is a psychological thriller set in the world of boxing, directed by Sean Ellis and starring Orlando Bloom as the protagonist, known simply as "The Boxer." The story centers on the retired fighter, who, ten years after a career-ending defeat, gets an unexpected chance at a championship title in Las Vegas. The major hurdle is that he must drastically and dangerously cut a significant amount of weight—over 30 pounds—in just six days to make the weigh-in for the super welterweight bout. His desperation for redemption and the lure of a massive payday lead him to enlist the help of a brutal, unorthodox, and uncompromising trainer named Boz (John Turturro), against the initial concern of his wife and trainer, Caitlin (Caitríona Balfe). The film shifts away from a typical underdog sports drama by primarily focusing on the Boxer's intense and increasingly hallucinatory physical and psychological ordeal of extreme weight cutting, which pushes him to the brink and resurfaces traumatic childhood memories. The Cut premiered as a Special Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2024, and had a US release date of September 5, 2025. Bloom reportedly lost about 35 pounds for the physically demanding role. Read More
