Biggest Swing

The film drops from its promising opening with young Alan meeting Louis to the traumatic plank incident that haunts him throughout life.

The Final Cut begins strongly with an intriguing sci-fi premise and Williams' compelling performance, but reviews indicate it struggles with pacing and underdeveloped elements in the middle sections. While critics appreciated the philosophical questions about memory and truth, many felt the execution didn't fully realize the concept's potential, leading to a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion.
