Storyline

The story is set in a world where implanted microchips can record all moments of an individual's life. The chips are removed upon death so the images can be edited into something of a highlight reel for loved ones who want to remember the deceased. Caviezel portrays the leader of the organization that opposes this technology's development. Written by Bubba

Trivia

This movie does not appear to take place in our universe nor share its time-line. Cars, homes, dress, and furnishings sometimes appear to be from our past or present, while certain technologies, obviously, do not yet exist in our world. Therefore, it does not matter if the events take place in a present, past, or future. In fact, no date is ever revealed nor mentioned in the movie. Even the tombstones in the graveyard scene have no birth or death dates. See more »

It was just okay.
20 October 2004 | by (U.S.) – See all my reviews

Well, I just saw The Final Cut over the weekend and I am finding myself very disappointed in the movie. From the previews I had imagined something a little different with a lot more action that what took place. There were certain scenes that I felt were good and like them, but all in all I would rather have waited to just rent the movie than to have gone to see it in the theaters. It was a pretty slow moving movie when I was expecting more suspense and action. Robin Williams did a great job in the part, just to clarify. Once again, it was just my view of the movie as a whole that I did not like. The overall plot was good and the storyline had a great theme but as I watched, I just became more and more disappointed. Then at the end, it just kind of ended. To me, I was left with the feeling that there should have been more than just a sudden ending like it had.
