John Shepherd (Chuck Norris) is a private investigator with a heart of gold. One day, he runs across attempted kidnap victim Elizabeth Teller (Joanna Pacula). She and her uncle Issac (Bernie Kopell) are expert gem cutters. Dirk (Daniel Bernhardt) is a murderer and raided an archaeological dig in the Sinai desert. He stole the Breastplate of Aaron from the dig, and kidnaps Issac to do a specific cut on the gems in the breastplate.This is a pretty good movie if it was made in the late 80s. Chuck Norris, Joanna Pacula, Bernie Kopell, and Tracy Scoggins are great blast from the past. The action is explosive enough ... for the 80s. The fact is movie making has moved on. It's not like Chuck has gotten any better as an actor. He doesn't have the same moves as his younger self. This is no more than a relatively good B-movie.

Chuck Norris plays a private investigator named "John Shepherd" who is investigating the disappearance of an elderly Jewish diamond cutter named "Issac Teller" (Bernie Kopell) who has been kidnapped from his home. What makes this odd to John Shepherd is that no ransom has been demanded and the kidnappers also try to abduct Issac's niece, "Elizabeth Teller" (Joanna Pacula) as well. Now, even though this isn't a bad film and it certainly has some suspense and action, there really isn't anything here to differentiate it from a host of other films in this genre. Chuck Norris is his usual bland self who gives his standard vanilla performance. Likewise, both Joanna Pacula and Daniel Bernhardt (as the the bad guy"Dirk") perform adequately as well. And while Tracy Scoggins ("Alena") is also in this film, her part was limited and this fact adds another reason for the lackluster final product. That said, if a person is looking for an average action film then this is certainly something they should consider.

Unfortunately, but this is the last movie of Chuck's career in the cinema. And, as a big fan of Norris, I was glad to watch this movie, named "Cutter". It's the movie, which full of action, interesting episodes and cool fights. I noticed, that this's very nice action for last Chuck Norris's project.Finally, "Cutter" is a typical motion picture of 80's, but with something modern, fashion and cool parts. Norris as strong and fast, as in his "Walker Texas ranger" TV series, so I pleased to look at him and to see, how he kicks asses of bad guys and, for sure, his last fight scene.So, I advice to watch to You this wonderful and really interesting movie, especially, if You're a fan of Carlos Rey Norris.10 out of 10!..

I'm not really sure whether this film is meant to be taken serious or not. Anyways i found found it very enjoyable to watch, because it really made me laugh at times.If the idea however was to create a proper action film then the director and actors somewhat failed.It's not that the action itself isn't realistic. Which is of course to be expected with Chuck Norris in the main role. The bare knuckle fights are intense but not otherworldly (and since both the chuck and his enemy know martial arts you know it's real) and when somebody gets shot in the chest he/she simply dies. However I can't say the same for the acting, which is for the greatest part very unnatural.No one seams to be shocked by death or violence particularly Chuck who even jokes about it.It seems like this man only has two expressions, being smiling and a neutral face. And that's what makes the film.The bad guy was also amusing, you wouldn't need to see him go wrong to know he's the villain.His looks, his gestures and black hair betray him. If you watch this film in good company and don't try to take it serious you won't regret it.
