Cutter's Way

Unambitious yacht salesman and gigolo Richard Bone (Jeff Bridges) skates on his good looks and avoids all responsibility. His best friend Alex Cutter (John Heard) returned from Vietnam with his body ruined, but his mind sharpened and attuned to the injustices and politics that led to his predicament. After Bone witnesses a shadowy figure dump a young woman's body in the trash, he fingers local oil magnate J.J. Cord (Stephen Elliot) as the killer. As Bone backs away from this accusation, Cutter charges forward on a crusade to make Cord pay not only for this murder, but for all the other crimes fat cats like him have routinely gotten away with. Cutter's long-suffering wife Mo (Lisa Eichhorn), struggles to keep her own head above the surface, while steering the two men toward saner waters. (Radiance Films)
