This is a well made and acted "abduction" movie. It's just not very interesting. Nothing unexpected happens. No plot twists. Just pre-abductuon, followed by abduction, then escape. The end.

So I took my cutlass...

Warning: Spoilers
Inspired by true events, Joanna (Lisa-Bel Hirschmann) of Tobago is kidnapped and held for ransom by Al (Arnold Goindhan) who has issues of his own.
After the characters are introduced we quickly go to a home break-in or a party-crasher and kidnapping. Most of the film consists of conversations between Joanna and her captor. Acting not too bad but something easily forgotten.
Guide: F-word. rape. partial nudity.

Look beyond the low budget; there's a good film here. It starts a bit shallow but spends the second part of the story developing the main characters, both of whom are well portrayed by the male and female leads. I'm glad I watched and recommend this!
Way better than I expected

This is my first movie review so it is nice to be rating a local production. This movie captured the beauty of the north-east coast of Trinidad whilst preserving the feeling of dread throughout.
It was honestly portrayed, with a villain whose life story manages to evoke compassion despite his cruelty.
We are all victims of our emotional scars it seems.
Aside from some cheezy dialogue and poor acting in the opening scenes ( some clearly inexperienced actors) the movie had a good script and excellent acting.
Really worth a watch.

Great way to spend an hour and a half.

The Cutlass is based on a true story {I guess}. The location of the story is Trinidad and the scenery in this area is truly beautiful. A tropical rainforest along the coast. I told my Wife when the movie started. "I could easily live there". But as the story progressed, I decided maybe if the criminal element was truly like that, I might not want to start packing after all. The main players in this movie, Lisa-Bel Hirschmann and Arnold Goindhan, did a great job portraying the young girl who was kidnapped and the kidnapper. I have read some other reviews that scored this movie a 4 and a 2, don't believe it watch it for yourself it's way better than some others I've watched lately that were rated 8 and 9 by reviewers
Jade Solis true event
renegadepatriot9 March 2021
Police reports state that Solis was with a group of friends at the guest house having dinner, when the man, armed with a cutlass and gun, entered and announced a hold-up.
The man robbed the group of their cellphones and other valuables.
He then ordered Solis out of the house with him and drove off. A report was made to Toco police and a manhunt was launched. __________ Good movie Hope it shines light on the large amount of kidnappings and deaths of young women in that country!

Adventure!

The whole viewing experience was an adventure, beautiful landscape, a rollercoaster of emotions and an interesting juxtaposition of social perspectives. Brilliant to see this kind of talent coming out of the Caribbean!
