Cutter's Way
1981, English. Directed by Ivan Passer.
Cutter does everything his way. Fighting. Loving. Working. Tracking down a killer.
Alex Cutter is a boozy, belligerent and deeply cynical Vietnam veteran whose encounter with a landmine during the war has left him minus an eye, a leg and an arm. When his drifter playboy friend Richard Bone is falsely accused of murder, Cutter sets out for revenge in his own inimitable style.
