How far are you willing to go to make an action film? Instead of the usual stunt choreography, the protagonists of action crime drama Rough Cut would rather film real on-set fist fights instead. It's a pretty extreme request in real life, but it proves to be a chilling premise, as the production steadily blurs the lines between the film they hope to make, and the real life harm inflicted onto themselves and the rest of the set. Rough Cut isn’t an easy watch, especially as the film’s leading duo mirror each other and push each other into more horrific places, but it’s a surprising meditation over cinema’s desire to capture something real.
