Starring Liam Hemsworth, Teresa Palmer, Billy Bob Thornton, Bruce Dern, Michael Stuhlbarg, Oliver Platt, and John Malkovich, the film was selected to be screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

Sheriff Vogel arrives and views the tape, which presents him with Cut Bank's first murder case.

US Postal Inspector Joe Barrett arrives in Cut Bank to inspect the body and confirm the reward for Dwayne.

At a trailer in a junkyard, where Georgie is hiding, he pays the man, who is a mute Native American named Match.

Georgie attacks Stan with bolt cutters and hides his body in the back of a van on the lot.

When the police arrive to process the murder scene, they are stunned to find Stan alive in the back of the van.

Milton holds him at gunpoint and reveals himself to be an old friend of Dwayne's disabled father who has been protecting animals since he was forced to kill a family of bears, but this has involved murdering people as well, particularly poachers.

At the security gate, he is preparing to shoot the guard when Sheriff Vogel calls for Milton to come out of the vehicle.

Vogel and Stan agree to cover up Dwayne's scheme, but in return he has to forfeit the reward money and never tell Cassandra what they did.

[5] A week later on April 10, the film appeared in a limited release in Canada, and was made available to Canadian video on demand that same day.

The site's consensus reads: "Cut Bank contains typically outstanding work from its solid veteran cast, but it's lost in a dull morass of predictably derivative crime thriller clichés.

[20] Geoff Berkshire of Variety wrote, "A strong supporting cast, including Bruce Dern, steals the show in otherwise routine thriller.

"[21] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "copycat, self-consciously comedic violent noir" in the style of the Coen Brothers and Quentin Tarantino.
