“Cutter does everything his way. Fighting. Loving. Working. Tracking down a killer.”

DramaMysteryThrillerCrime

Alex Cutter is a boozy, belligerent and deeply cynical Vietnam veteran whose encounter with a landmine during the war has left him minus an eye, a leg and an arm. When his drifter playboy friend Richard Bone is falsely accused of murder, Cutter sets out for revenge in his own inimitable style.

VIBE

A bleak, sun-drenched neo-noir that feels like a hangover. It's a slow descent into paranoia and desperation, fueled by cheap booze and lingering trauma. The characters are broken, the world is corrupt, and justice feels like a distant, impossible dream.
