Excellent crime/action/thriller set in the country instead of the more customary urban landscape. There's nothing groundbreaking about it but it's just extremely well crafted. Lighthearted and accessible but also clever and very tense, has really lush visuals and great performances from Marvin and Hackman. I even found the shootout scenes exciting, whereas in most movies they bore me.

Movie starts with Sissy Spacek buck naked. Movie ends with Sissy Spacek decking some old bitch in the face. In between, Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman exchange curt one-liners and shoot a bunch of each other's dudes, followed by each other, while Sissy Spacek graduates from nude to sheer negligee. Verdict: hell yeah.

Is Sissy Spacek sexy? I don't know. It's one of life's great questions really. I think that here, in her film debut, she's pretty damn sexy. Anyway, Prime Cut is a fun film with some really fascinating ideas, but they never come together as a satisfying final product. The last scene, with Sissy punching out that lady and all of the kids running into the field, is beyond brilliant, though.

Starts off with enormous promise but falls well short. Lee Marvin gives a usual top performance.

There are some great grindhousey scenes and ideas in PRIME CUT: a chase scene involving a combine, mob enforcers being ground into sausages, sex slaves being sold in cattle pens, and a superb final shootout. Add in a nice (if too-brief) villainous turn by Gene Hackman, a good debut for Sissy Spacek, and a great Lalo Schifrin score, and you would expect a classic. But the good parts don't really coalesce into a whole, and Lee Marvin seems a bit bored by it all. Not bad, but not great either.

Exciting crime drama that doesn't rely on constantly body counts and endless violence to entertain. Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman are superb as the two principles. While the movie itself isn't tremendously new the iconic combine harvester chase makes this an absolute must see.

No frills 70s gangster action. Lee Marvin is from the Chicago mob and goes to Kansas to collect a $500,000 debt from Gene Hackman who runs the Kansas mob. Hackman also has a sex slave trade on the side, selling girls from a local orphanage to rich old dudes. It's got a couple of great chases and shootouts, plus full frontal nudity from a really young Sissy Spacek. Oh, and a wheat harvester/baler eats a car. Yeah.
