Wow, a great surprise dark comedy from the 1970s!
A real treat from Michael Ritchie (The Golden Child) with an excellent script, an A+ cast and plenty of action, despite the fact that it's really a very dark – almost surreal – comedy/satire about the meat industry in the 'American Heartland.'
As usual, Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman and Sissy Spacek bring their best work. very graphic cinematography, real physical special effects (no CGI) and good plot twists make it a riveting experience.
Highly recommended for those who like their dark satires well-done!

Minor classic that pits Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman in thriller.
A terrific neo noir with touches of Hitchcock, “Prime Cut” revels in the cliches of many of the genres- the criminal with the heart of gold and the sleazy underworld of the bad guys.
Spoilers:
Set in the Heartland, the film. Follows Nick (Lee Marvin) an enforcer hired by the Irish Mob who is send to collect from Mary Ann (Gene Hackman-really!) the owner of a meat packing planet who has a prostitution racket on the side for young and underage girls. Mary Ann had been stiffing the Mob on a debt and each enforcer has been killed and sent back in an interesting way. Nick is horrified at the prostitution ring that Mary Ann runs; they have history as well and that history plays into the animosity of both men as they fight it out Ina thrilling conclusion. Towards the end of his career as an enforcer, Nick disliked the way his world has turned out.
Michael Richtie was at the beginning of his career as a director but was clearly in control as a director staging some thrilling scenes with echoes of Hitchcock’s classics “North by Northwest” and other classics. Richtie doesn’t ape Hitch so much as may the sequences work in the context of his film.
The 4 K and Blu-ray look terrific from a fresh transfer of the original camera negative. There’s virtually no issues with the films. Colors are strong, detail excellent and it looks of its time without any messing about with the image.
The mono audio pushes dialogue up front but there is a nice, robust feel to the rest of the mono soundtrack.
The film has two commentary tracks both very good (one has to use the audio selection to hear them as I didn’t see it in the main menu for the 4K). We find out, for example, that Hackman took his second billed role because he had just finished “The French Connection” and hadn’t worked for six months. Richtie and Marvin butted heads because Richtie wanted Marvin to do a love scene with the much younger Sissy Spacek in her debut. Marvin felt uncomfortable with that because of their age difference (she was 23 and Marvin was 49).
A Blu-ray (that was previously released a couple of years back) is also included. Kino has done a fine job of brining this minor classic to 4K and Blu-ray. One may feel like they need to take a shower after watching the film because of how sleazy Hackman plays an already nasty character like Mary Ann. Putting this in the heartland with all the corruption of the big city adds an element that is missing from many films like this. The corruption at heart of Mary Ann and the community he has tainted by his presence points to the rot that was growing in America at the time.
