The Final Cut
(Canada, 2004, 94 minutes)
In the future, people are implanted at birth with a memory chip that records their entire life, whose footage is condensed at death into a memorial edited by a “cutter”; one such “cutter” finds a clue to a trauma in his own past in the footage he’s currently editing... Good-looking but muddled melodrama with sci-fi overtones that wastes a provocative premise and good technical credits in poor, cliched scripting and non-existant acting.
Lions Gate Films presents, in association with Cinerenta, an Industry Entertainment/Cinetheta production. Starring Robin Williams, Mira Sorvino, Mimi Kuzyk, Stephanie Romanov, Jim Caviezel. Directed and written by Omar Naim; produced by Nick Wechsler; music by Brian Tyler; director of photography, Tak Fujimoto; production designer, James Chinlund; costume designer, Monique Prudhomme; film editors, Dede Allen and Robert Brakey.
