"The reversals the characters suffer across the movie’s running time are epic, and the movie’s finale unfolds to genuinely startling effect."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The film is a muddled social-protest thriller that tries to bridge the corrupt machinations upstairs with the desperation of the streets, and can't find a way to connect them convincingly."

Variety
Variety"Cut Throat City is still an ambitious and volatile film, an atmospheric survey of the thankless world of the rich and the damned."
