Bad Day for the Cut

This is a quirky action comedy thriller. A middle aged irish farmer, Donal still lives with his mum. One night assassins turns up at the farm and kill his mum. Donal is in the garage at the time and sees one of the assassins as he leaves but only before discovering what happened to mum in the house. Donal goes on a journey of revenge with a van and a 12 bore shotgun. The reason for the assassin unfolds as the movie progresses and it isn't fully revealed until very near the end. This adds to the suspense but it does bring with it some confusion. The inclusion of the comedy allows some, what would otherwise be implausible situations to arise and so lead to a more eventful and entertaining film. The movie is quite tense in parts and the bits of comedy don't spoil that. I was going to rate it at 6.5 but I'll round up to 7 for it's refreshing change to the usual Hollywood take on this genre. My rating 7/10 Recommended

Decent revenge crime-thriller with old hidden family secrets that unravels as the story reaches its climax. A middle age Irish farmer and caretaker becomes aware of secrets that were kept away from him as a young boy. I gave it a 7 out of 10. The villains are not that scary but the story twists makes up for it.

Reviewers or actually viewers of movies have now said it's ok for a movie to not have a solid resolution to the ending of a movie and directors are now doing this because its EASIER!!! Not having an ending is like bot including the last chapter in a book!! You wouldn't accept that DONT except a movie to do that!!! This movie was entertaining and well acted but gets knocked down 2 stars for a guess how it all ends ending!! STOP DOING THAT!!!!

Found on Netflix and wasn't expecting much but more than pleasantly surprised. Fine acting from the leads,especially Donal. Unfolding back story that makes the film,well worth a look

This exceeded all my expectations and really delivers a punch to the guts that leaves the viewer reeling in many scenes!

Good acting , unexpected moments and a real engaging story for once. Quite frustrating as you just wanted the bad guys to get it but the film treads a more true to life and unexpected line which keeps the viewer frustrated and wanting to see more...Great storytelling as the backstory slowly evolves.

If you are looking for something more without the frills and spills of unlimited CGI and dross story-line and remakes we see delivered to Netflix and Amazon seemingly weekly then this will surely satisfy, its a masterful performance from the main character and a really unexpected set of quite nasty characters and events all mixed into a really satisfying Irish thrill-soup!
