Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco star in "Day Shift," a vampire hunting movie. The movie follows the story of a hard working blue collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters.The premise sounds exciting, but can J.J. Perry deliver on it?
The opening scene of the movie is a bonkers action sequence with Jamie Foxx shotgun blasting the hell out of an old lady who turns out to be a vampire. The movie then launches into an amazing fight scene between them. I think the movie is having a lot fun with the rag-doll action scenes. It makes those sequences pop in an action movie that's not as popular as some of the other Netflix action movies or blockbusters.
Day Shift is another fun, non-serious film that I felt like I could genuinely enjoy the whole way through. It was fun and entertaining. It had humor and I laughed a lot. It also drew inspiration from the brilliant vampire films Blade and Lost Boys, two of my all-time favorite films. The (Day Shift review) acting was good all around, the directing was great and the cinematography was quite good too. Day Shift is a film that's both entertaining and lighthearted. It's a lot of fun.
Day Shift was a very mixed movie. The movie has a lot to offer, including some action scenes that are fun and some characters like the two brothers and Seth. But the villain is horrible and there are many mediocre characters. That helps the stronger characters shine more. There seemed to be missing scenes that were cut. Bud's neighbor acts like she is a friend even though they only had about 3 minutes each before the final scene. Bud started making prank phone call after she got to work at the gas station. This was the best part of the movie. It was hilarious and it was so much fun to watch. The movie ended and it was not nearly as entertaining. Day Shift is, in general, a mixed bag. There are some great parts and some terrible parts. However, if you want to have some fun, there are better movies than this one.
Snoop Dogg makes the whole movie worth watching. I mean, who doesn't love Snoop Dogg? He is the epitome of cool.
