LEE MARVIN DOUBLE
2 films in this collection
No speeches, no sentiment, no wasted movement. Just a granite face, a dry voice, and the sense that he’d already decided how this was going to end. It's Lee Marvin.
In POINT BLANK (92 mins), Marvin stalks a modernist, hostile Los Angeles like a man already half-dead, burning through gangsters and corporate middlemen with icy focus. In PRIME CUT (88 mins), he’s dropped into a grotesque Midwestern underworld of mobsters, meatpacking, and corruption led by the equally towering Gene Hackman.
Marvin doesn’t chase the frame — the frame bends around him. A classic grindhouse double bill of hard stares, clipped dialogue, and cinema that knows less is more.

PRIME CUT
(1972, USA, Michael Ritchie)
88 mins18
A seasoned mob enforcer is sent from Chicago to rural Missouri to settle a dispute with a sadistic meatpacking boss whose criminal empire runs as brutally as his slaughterhouses. As the job spirals into a collision of organised crime, forced labour, and industrial violence, the boundaries between urban professionalism and pastoral brutality collapse. Hard-edged and deeply unsettling, Michael Ritchie’s Prime Cut exposes an America where exploitation is systemic and bodies are commodities, blending crime thriller conventions with a bleak, often surreal vision of power, corruption, and survival on the margins.
