Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Vomitron_G Another short comment from The Vault, dated 2006/10/11:"Now we're talking business! Finally I was able to purchase the shiny uncut and uncensored Anchor Bay edition of "Cut and Run", Ruggero Deodato's notorious 'drugs & jungle'-fest. And yes, it's violent, it's gory, and misogynistic. And it even manages to tell a pretty decent, dual plotted story. An ambitious reporter (Lisa Blount) is after the story of a lifetime when she discovers a renegade colonel (Richard Lynch), who supposedly died years ago, is currently in the drug traffic business, producing cocaine in the jungle. Also, the son of a rich American TV-producer disappeared in that very same jungle. We pretty soon learn that he is held against his will by the colonel to help him fabricate and transport drugs. Further more, the colonel is helped by a ruthless native tribe. You guessed it: there's plenty of room for decapitations, disembowelment, dismemberment, violations of women,... This all boils down to some pretty cruel jungle mayhem. If you see it, then make sure to watch the restored uncut version, because otherwise you'll miss out on some of the fun stuff and even a few additional plot elements."

Leonard Smalls: The Lone Biker of the Apocalypse Oh my god, this is one is hilarious! Right from the get go, when we see Michael Berryman spring from a murky river and attack a native, we know this movie is going to rock.As usual with these Italian flicks, the acting is pretty terrible. The lead female is fairly decent though, considering the script.The plot is simple enough: a guy's kid is held against his will in the jungles of Columbia by some ruthless drug-dealers. A reporter and her cameraman go down into the 'green inferno' to save him. Along the way people get chopped up, mauled by crocs, sliced and diced and ripped apart. Definitely a gory action flick, kind of like "Contraband." The thing I really liked about this is that it includes all the violence and action of a flick like "Cannibal Holocaust" but there is no animal violence at all, which makes it a lot more watchable and fun.Yea, I'll be adding this one to the collection.8 out of 10, kids.

aolaccountssuck After Ruggero Deodato made Cannible Holocaust studios granted him with a budget, Because of it was a smash at the box office. Instead of doing a sequel he leaned more towards another movie. But the studios wanted something some what similar. So you get CUT AND RUN.CUT AND RUN staring Lisa Blount (AN OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN) and Willie Aames (EIGHT IS ENOUGH) is a bloodbath of fun. The story is written like any other Italien film from the 80's. In other words, if you are looking for something like Apacolypse Now, or a so called great film "Saving Private Ryan" or in the wrong DVD Section. This Story hold the Equivalince of Death Wish 3. Entertainment Value and thats it. But, hey, that is more then fine with me.The Film also Co-stars Karen Black and Michael Berryman (THE HILLS HAVE EYE'S) and appearances by Richard Lynch and Eriq Lasalle. A perfect line up to an eighty's EuroShock feature. The film mostly takes place in the jungle like most Italien films at the time. And our main characters find themselves in the middle of an intricate drug war, and drug slave camps that appear to be the descendent's of Jim Jones. The characters at first wanted to film a story but now once "stuff" hit the fan, are in the game of survival.The Uncut version has great Decapitations, People being split in half, rape, and torture scenes. It is also shot slightly above average, the camera move's to the feel of the film. Nothing like Sergio or Dario, but above average.The score is by Cluadio Simonetti (The first time Cluadio and Ruggero Worked together) and actually fell short compared to his prior work with Goblin. But still, falling short from greatness is not to bad.Overall if you are an Italy film fan, and you like Fulci, and Argento, this is one you will not like to miss. Also, this is a great film to introduce Italien EuroShock films to someone new. It's got an American Style to it that many can Relate to. I hope this has been help-full, enjoy. (Oh and the replay value is very high)

Coventry Not a cannibal in sight in this jungle, but that doesn't keep the almighty Rugero Deodato from making another nasty action movie, largely set in sweltering swamps and amidst brutal savages. The plot is weak compared to "Cannibal Holocaust" and a lot less shocking, but the action is merciless and exclusively meant for people with a strong stomach. Two journalists, specialized in drug stories, go on a jungle mission to unravel a network of drug transportation, led by a pivot figure who presumable died a couple of years earlier. Meanwhile, they also have to search for the son of a media tycoon who was kidnapped and hold prisoner in the same jungle. This is pure exploitation-gold with an excellent score, ingenious camera-work and very raw editing. Michael Berryman, the creep from "The Hills Have Eyes", has a staggering supportive role as – surprise, surprise – an insane madman. Don't bother too much about the lame acting and many plot holes, this is undemanding but fun stuff!
