Comments: Everything you know about desire is dead wrong.

Summary: Based on Susanna Moore's popular novel, "In the Cut" centers on Frannie (Meg Ryan), an emotionally stifled English teacher who gets steamy with sultry Malloy (Mark Ruffalo, "You Can Count On Me"), a cop who's investigating a series of brutal murders--but Frannie soon suspects that Malloy may be the killer. As a psychological thriller, "In the Cut" is heavier on psychology than thrills; the story is a skeleton that director Jane Campion ("The Piano", "An Angel at My Table") cloaks in one of the most nightmarish visions of urban life since "Taxi Driver" or "Seven", accompanied by lots of explicit sex. The movie's dark tone will put some viewers off, but Ruffalo's effortless magnetism serves him well; no woman in the audience will question how quickly Ryan falls into bed with him. Also featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh and an uncredited Kevin Bacon. "--Bret Fetzer"
