Since Outlander wrapped its eighth and final season, series star Caitríona Balfe has looked to film for her next projects.
First released, and currently streaming on Hulu, was The Amateur, an action thriller. Balfe stars opposite Rami Malik in the story, based on the 1981 novel by Robert Littell, about a brilliant CIA decoder whose world comes crashing down when his wife dies in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, his intelligence becomes the ultimate weapon as he embarks on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, with a little help from Balfe’s character Inquiline.

And today, the trailer for her next film, The Cut, was released. Co-starring with Orlando Bloom and John Turturro, the movie depicts the story of a boxer (Bloom) who comes out of retirement to vie for his championship title through a grueling and unsanctioned weight-cutting program with a coach (Turturro) who knows no limits. As a result, he alienates himself from reality and loved ones, including his girlfriend Caitlin Harney (Balfe), as he spirals out of control.

In the dramatic trailer, we see Caitlin’s concern for the boxer, who has to drop an impossible 26 pounds in six days but also get into the best shape of his life. She says, “He’s not a competitive fighter anymore.”
Boz tells the boxer, “The problem is your girl loves you, so she’s only going to hurt you so much. What you need is someone who loves something more than you. To me, you’re just a poker chip.” Regardless, Bloom’s character seems more locked in than ever to put his body on the line for the chance at a belt.
