Middle-aged farmer, Donal, is content to lead a simple, quiet life, sharing his home in a little Irish village with his increasingly frail mother, Florence. He works the fields during the day and drinks in the local pub at night. The only indication he may wish for something more is an old campervan, which he has lovingly restored. His peace is shattered one evening when he returns to find Florence murdered in an apparent home invasion, a ruthless act that sees Donal setting off for Belfast in his little red van, on an impulsive, furious mission for vengeance. What he finds is a world of violence and brutality that he can t understand, and deep-rooted family secrets that will shake him to his core. (Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment)

A farmer goes after the mobsters who killed his mother. An Irish accent, Nordic coarseness and strange black humour. The most interesting bad guy (the famous “round face” David Pearse) is unfortunately the first to be taken out and the top boss of the bad guys is ironically the film’s least cunning character. Besides the poorly conceived build-up in this respect, however, the film maintains a certain distinctiveness, thanks mainly to the well-acted, atypical protagonist played by the lesser-known Nigel O’Neill. Bad Day for the Cut is a bit of a festival film that delivers genre themes in its own way.
