Editor Brian Philip Davis shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

What people are saying
- Gimly★ 6/10
Vengeance Thrillers are still kickin', and Bad Day for the Cut is another hit for the genre. Not a marked improvement on anything, or a new way of doing the bit, just a well-acted, taut crime film that I enjoyed the time I spent with. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
