The time period is captured perfectly and the story builds nicely but Sullivan Stapleton is so very good at portraying the charmingly dangerous but vulnerable Pommie I found it quite haunting

well made and acted i feel conflicted about how i feel about itdidnt like where the story went but it was well made all the same.

Excellent movie, Crime , Drama, Thriller and Sex along with Great acting!! It's A Winner!! Hear it is will be having a wider release either today or tomorrow. Be sure to Watch!!

Best ex-con film since Animal Kingdom. Deserves an audience.

Cut Snake is an unexpected and invigorating piece of work, blessed with a simply brilliant central performance.

It's a minor story with minor ambitions, yet it manages to deliver a fully satisfying and moving experience.

Performances keep the tension building toward an incendiary climax.

In Tony Ayres' Cut Snake, the true blue Aussie crime flick gets a queer coat of paint. It masks itself as a standard crime flick, but subverts what we have come to expect from these films...

A tough little crime drama full of muted anger, growled dialogue and whispered threats...Much as we applaud the achievements of filmmakers working on small budgets, you can't hand out free passes when those limitations hobble the flow and feel of a film.

It's a big movie, despite its small circle of characters, and rewarding for adventurous viewers.

Artfully shot by Simon Ford, with fine period detail from production designer, Josephine Ford, Cut Snake is technically top-notch, and emotionally uncompromising, as Ayres again strides into largely virgin territory for Australian cinema.

Perhaps the low-ish budget shows here and there, but Ayres' filming of Blake Ayshford's script has a fittingly lived-in '70s look, a cool soundtrack, strong work from the leads (and the supporting cast) and, at times, a sense of real foreboding.

Performances are uniformly impressive, with Stapleton guaranteed a place in the pantheon of creepily charismatic Australian screen criminals.

A young crim out of jail, trying to go straight... hardly an original concept, but Blake Ayshford's screenplay gives it a novel twist and extra layers, while director Tony Ayres pushes for an edgy delivery
