I Was Surprised That 'The Cut' Is A Boxing Movie Without Much Fighting At All, And Orlando Bloom And John Turturro Made A Good Point About Why

When it comes to the best boxing movies to grace the silver screen over the years, viewers have come to expect a certain kind of storytelling formula, which proves to be effective. The Cut, one of the sports flicks on the 2025 movie schedule is a bit different, though. The Sean Ellis-directed film doesn't feature much fighting in general, and I found that surprising upon watching it. With that, the movie's stars, Orlando Bloom and John Turtorro, shared some keen thoughts with CinemaBlend on that front.

The Cut sees Orlando Bloom play an Irish boxer, who’s never specifically named, as he decides to come out of retirement for another chance for a championship title. However, in order to do so, he has to undergo a brutal weight loss regimen in order to be eligible to compete in the ring. When CinemaBlend spoke to Bloom about the movie’s lack of actual fighting, he told us this.
