Firstly, let me just stress that 4 stars for me makes this a very good movie; I don't just give out 5 star ratings for nothing! Secondly, i'm not even going to dignify any other reviews of this film, as they mostly criticise the acting and the low budget and basically miss the whole point of this stunning piece of brittish cinema.
Final Cut, sets out to do exactly what it states in the movie, Jude Law' character "Jude" describes the film he makes in the movie as "Cutting Edge Cinema". This is exactly what the directors Burdis and Anciano have achieved, a movie that blurs the line between reality and fiction. If nobody had ever heard of Jude Law, Ray Winstone or Sadie Frost, then they could really believe that were actually watching a real slice of life. The acting, which may appear to be poor, is realistic to say the least. Each actor performs brilliantly, as their characters are forced through every drama and negative emotion imaginable, especially Ray Winstone, who gives the performance of a life time despite the ridiculous amount of swearing involved.
Basically the movie is about Jude Law's character "Jude", who has just died and released a secret video tape that he made about the lives of all his friends. They watch this video at his funeral, and thier friendships fall to pieces as they learn about how each of them has lied, deceived, cheated, stolen and much much more. The film is extremely vulger, yet intense and amazingly gripping. I first watched it when I was high, and I couldn't even believe what I was seeing.
The film does appear to be very low budget, and the fact that it's English makes it even more gritty, but this is all intentional. Final Cut is meant to be so realistic that it could very well have happened, even the characters in the movie seem real as they are all named after the actors that play them, and seem to have very similar personalities too. So basically, I wouldn't reccommend this movie to young people, or to people who need an A-List cast and a $100,000,000 special effects budget to enjoy a movie. But I would recommend it to anyone seeking a harsh, realistic movie, with great performances and a top notch thrill factor.

A great film, if you like a good British comedy this one is for you. Same cast and wit as Love Honour and Obey, a real corker for Ray Winstone fans.

I am a fan of operation goodguy's so obviously like this. I don't think I've laughed as much at a film for sometime. The humour is so close to the bone (not to be watched with your mother), but very much like real life. Ray Winstone again manages to scare the life out of you.
I dare you not to laugh

Disappointing
This film lacks the magic that makes Love Honour and Obey work so well. We will not be watching it again.

None of your American cinematic polish - just real life British drama. The film starts with Jude Law's mates meeting up after his funeral. Read more
