Bad Day starts off slow but ends up a fast-paced thriller, at times the story is a little hard to follow but whatever confusion you experience the answers follow as the movie moves on. The film is great, I thought the acting was fantastic, the story dark and brutal and the ending and twist was worth the price of the rental, I don't want to go into too much detail you'll have to watch the movie to see what I am talking about.
Wasted enough of my time watching the film to waste much more reviewing it, so suffice to say it was bad. Acting = bad.
Bad Day is one of those movies that you shouldn't think hard about because it you do I fear the plot might fall apart, but saying that the movie is helped enormously by a skilled director employing really cool actors. All the featured cast here are in top notch form and, though I enjoy trying to measure how much license was taken by the screenplay, this movie never once made me feel cheated or bored.
This film is one of many so called "gritty British crime films" extant these days. Mixed in is a theme of revenge with pretty females added to the mix for obvious reasons.
This film has a reasonable story and is a decent enough action-filled romp. However, the dialogue is truly awful in places.
I wasn't entirely sure this movie was going to be any good, well it is a UK low budget film and they are usually crap, and after reading the two reviews on this IMDb page I almost didn't buy it.To be honest there was nothing else on the HMV shelf I wanted to see and I was bored so I brought it.
I had high hopes for this film when I saw Claire Goose on the cast list and she acted well. However, even she could not make up for the truly awful performance from Donna Air.
I wasn't going to buy this movie but after seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff on you tube I decided to buy. After watching this film I have to say I enjoyed it a lot.
Bad Day may be the single best UK low budget movie ever made, and quite fittingly it is by one of the most creative directors of the independent film world, Ian David Diaz. Don't know who he is?
