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!!!!

Bad Day For The Cut: An Irish Film about revenge, quelle surprise! Starting off in Tyrone and moving around the Six counties this is a tale of vengeance rooted in "The Troubles" but most of the narrative relates to present day events. Donal (Nigel O'Neill) lives on an Isolated Tyrone farm with his mother, he is middle-aged and lonely, repairs vehicles on the side. One night strangers come and murder his murder. A follow up attempt is made to kill Donal and make it look like suicide but Tyrone farmers are a hardy lot and one of the assailants ends up dead and the other is Donal's prisoner. There follows a story of human-trafficking, sexual slavery and gangsterism in contemporary Northern Ireland. A quest which runs from the border through Belfast to the North Antrim coast as Donal seeks answers, about the death of his mother, his mother's past and the true story about what happened decades before. A violence you would think unlikely in an ordinary man is roused in Donal as he becomes a champion not just for himself but others who are oppressed. His violence pales though in comparison to that casually used by the traffickers to keep their slaves and underlings in line. Superb direction by Chris Baugh and a great script veined with dark humour by Baugh and Brendan Mullin. This is a rural Cardboard Gangsters! 9/10. On Netflix Brendan Mullin was at a Q&A after the screening and his next film will be about the accidental unearthing (during a motorway construction) of the vampire that Bram Stoker based Dracula on! It's working title is The Boys From The County Hell.

I was super into this movie until the end. Cool story, well done, good characters and very hard boiled. The story was kinda confusing but I think that's only because I had a very hard time understanding the accents. I really really hate it in movies when the good guy wusses out at the very end to kill the bad guy that they've been hunting for the whole time. Despite all of the terrible things they have done up until this point they all of the sudden have an attack of morality. Then after giving the bad guy a chance to change in a split second, and to your "surprise" the bad guy doesn't change and takes advantage of the good guys gesture and tries to kill them. When faced with kill or be killed our hero can now kill the bad guy. With no moralistic judgments. I hate it when they do that. Then to top it off we get the ambiguous ending. "What's he going to do? Is he going to go and kill everybody? Be killed himself or call the cops?" It's okay to not show what you know is going to happen. "Hell or high water" does this successfully. But with this movie they were trying to be edgy and not give it to you. Such a shame because everything else was going so well too.

The story isn't good. The incidents are not so shocking. The story moves slowly in a not interesting, typical way.

Bad Day for the Cut is a gem hiding beneath the bottom of the sea for the fans of revenge thrillers. It is a great example of why there should be more indie films out there. Fairly good acting - astounding performances by Nigel O'Neill and Susan Lynch especially -a steady storyline and a decent plot twist, this film has it all.

Nigel O'Neill is Donal. a fifty something man living with his ma on a farm in Ireland. After a wee bit of violence, Donal seeks revenge upon some really nasty men running a prostitution ring. With the assistance of a Polish immigrant, We soon learn that the leader of this pack of meanies, is a young lady named Frankie. She reminded of Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest, a purely evil, foul mouthed bitch. The story becomes somewhat convoluted, with skeletons in the family closet involving the IRA. The cast is fine and there are some funny moments, but overall, this is only a 5/10.

Acting was very good but the plotline is so slow the film gets boring until the last 10 minutes. Donald was a very interesting character but I found it hard to understand him at times because it sounded like he was mumbling. I had to finish the filom to see what happens. The ending could have been better, kind of just cut off,.

Nearly 2 hours of action, intrigue, dark humour, and great acting. All of it sadly diminished by a poor ending. By poor ending, I mean, no ending.

Super boring and useless. There isn't a lot to make fun of or laugh at, but there is also nothing to latch onto or be entertained by. Very regular. You might like it if you've never seen a movie before. (1 viewing)

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!
