I'm not really sure what "In the Cut" was trying to be but it sure as hell failed on every possible level. I personally was annoyed by Meg Ryan's character Frannie Avery. Mark Ruffalo who played the mysterious homicide Detective Giovanni Malloy, had a strong presence, but that was it. I didn't really think the film had a story to it, it had a couple of noticeable performances but it doesn't go beyond that. I couldn't categorize it as a suspense thriller, a drama or an erotic film. After watching it I felt betrayed because they made the film look good from the trailers, and it ended up being an incoherent piece of trash with a cliched "whodunit" story with a lame ass ending. Do yourself a favor and avoid this mediocre piece of cinematic trash.
