Never mess with a man’s mother. That’s cinematic villainy
101. It doesn’t matter how old the guy is, and in the case of Chris Baugh’s
debut feature, Bad Day for the Cut, that’s certainly the
case, because this old dude will mess you up but good.
An aging Irish farmer (Nigel O’Neill in a moving, blackly
comic performance that carries the film) lives with his ma and goes on bloody
revenge mission when she’s murdered. His quest carries him into the depths of a
criminal underworld of killers and sex traffickers. The plot takes this scruffy
everyman through unexpected twists and turns, revealing harsh truths in a
smart, fun saga of violent retribution. [Grade: B+]
