Rough Cut

About This Movie

Rough Cut has this gritty feel to it, a real dive into crime that’s got a pulse on the underbelly of luxury. The synthetic diamonds are an interesting angle, playing off that classic heist vibe but in a modern context. The French Riviera backdrop adds an unexpected layer, contrasting the glitz with the dark side of ambition. Pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but there’s this tension that builds nicely. Performances are solid, not overly flashy but they bring a certain weight to the narrative. The practical effects used in the heist sequences give it a rawness that’s refreshing. It's not your run-of-the-mill thriller, there’s a distinct mood that lingers long after the credits roll.
