At less than 90 minutes long, this thriller overstays its welcome, in spite of some cool crossbow shootings and an exploding meth trailer.

First things first: Alec Baldwin and Stephen Dorff are known actors who are on the poster. However, Baldwin’s appearance is very short and needless (except to sell the film with his name). Dorff’s appearances are more frequent and he plays an actual character that’s integral to the plot-but he’s also minimally seen.

Which leaves us with a cast of no-name actors-some decent, others stuck in B-movie land. A man, Jack ( Clive Standen)  gets a job as a logger (hired by Baldwin) but we soon see that he doesn’t care about chopping trees, he’s trying to find a hillbilly camp in the woods that serves as home to a mobile meth lab.

Once Jack finds the bag full of loot and initially escapes the Deliverance rejects, the film turns into a foot-chase with lots of flashbacks. Even a crappy film like this has its reveals, so I will steer clear of spoilers, but not everyone is as they seem; some are good guys who seem bad and some are bad guys who seem good. I’ll leave it at that.

I will say that the film itself reveals these plot twists in confusing and boring ways. Our man on the run has those flashbacks to his life before he ended up running through this lush forest with meth bros, and a lady, hot on his trail.

I know many folks who like B-movies, and I am sometimes down for them, too. In that context, I was okay with elements of the movie, but I was ready for it to be over before repeat-bad movie offender Brian Skiba was ready to roll credits on his film.

Clear Cut (not to be confused with the film Clearcut) is rated R for violence and is in theaters and On Demand.
