Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A taut vengeance thriller that doesn't completely come together as one would hope but has enough solid entertainment value, well-directed visuals, and nasty twists and turns to justify a look. Jan 26, 2017 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Manages to develop its own distinct flavor while fitting snugly into the general tradition of latter-day U.K. gangster pics, with their rueful humor, colorful characters and realistically nasty violence. Jan 25, 2017 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See The plot takes this scruffy everyman through unexpected twists and turns, revealing harsh truths in a smart, fun saga of violent retribution. Rated: B+ Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots It's hard to ruin a good revenge film, but the real problem is that Bad Day for the Cut is just nothing special. Rated: 2/5 Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Bad Day for the Cut delivers its cinematic goods thanks to a smart combination of wit and violence, briskly delivered over just under 100 minutes. Feb 25, 2018 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand This lean, violent thriller from the UK has a dark undercurrent of humor to the story of an otherwise mild-mannered farmer and weekend hunter who turns out to be surprisingly resourceful...

Iain G Not what we expected, but kept moving along at good pace. Lots of action, and violence... dark humour at times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Gareth v A well constructed revenge movie that by the end has a man discovering more about himself than the events leading up to his actions. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Glenn C Superb slow burning vengeance thriller, with a great mystery/thriller behind it. Yes, you have to suspend disbelief a little, but it allows a superb tension which is added to by the unlikelihood of the main protagonist in his role. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Audience Member this was good - as bad as this sounds, i wished it was a little less PG when it came to the violence; seemed like every time a fight broke out the camera was always focused somewhere else. it's a revenge film - hard to feel like justice was served when you don't actually see anything happen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Right from the start I wanted to see what would happen next. It was the cinematic version of a page-turner. And what came next, then next, then next… did not disappoint. The urge for vengeance and the immediate satisfaction of it become overpowered by the relentlessness and senselessness of revenge. A powerful message embedded in an entertaining film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The antagonist is a sinister piece of work, and the story is one that slowly untangles a history that puts a great protagonist into a situation he knows nothing about, but he comes to the fore as a force to be reckoned with. Woe to the last baddies standing. Highly effective thriller. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
