“Prime Cut” is a different kind of gangster picture where an enforcer from the Chicago Irish mob (played by Lee Marvin) is sent to Kansas to collect a debt from a meatpacking company owner (played by Gene Hackman). The film is packed with hard-hitting crime drama featuring heavyweights like Marvin and Hackman, supported by Angel Tompkins, Gregory Walcott, Howard Platt, Eddie Egan, and Sissy Spacek in her motion picture debut.
Kudos to director Michael Ritchie (“Downhill Racer” 1969), screenwriter Robert Dillion, and producer Joe Wizan (“Jeremiah Johnson”) for the watchable prime cut of a film, “Prime Cut.”
