Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Bad Day for the Cut (2017)

Donal is a middle-aged single man who lives with his mother in order to take care of her. His life is upended when she's murdered and, days later, he has to fight off assailants determined to do him in as well. He realizes he needs to do what he can to find the one giving the orders or he'll never have peace.

It's not really anything new, but it works because we like Donal -- he's obviously a good man. We also like the kid he first abducts than partners with because he, like Donal, has been thrust into extraordinary circumstances but has retained his decency.

B+
