Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco are the stars of the new vampire hunting movie "Day Shift". The story is about a hardworking blue collar dad who wants to provide a decent life for his smart daughter. But his boring job cleaning pools in San Fernando Valley, California, is only a facade for his real income source, hunting and killing vampirics as part of the international Union of vampire hunters.It sounds like a fun idea, but can J.J. Perry bring it to life?
The movie's first scene is an action sequence featuring Jamie Foxx firing a shotgun at a woman who turns into a vampire. This leads to a hilarious fight between the two of their characters that is a total blast. This movie has a great deal of fun with rag-doll physics, which makes the action scenes pop in a way other Netflix action movies (or blockbusters) don't.
Day Shift has a lot of fun and is not too serious. I was able to enjoy it the entire way. I found it entertaining and not too complicated. It featured great action and was unique. It was funny and made me laugh a lot. It also drew inspiration from the brilliant vampire films Blade and Lost Boys, two of my all-time favorite films. The acting was strong, the direction was superb and the cinematography excellent. If you're looking for a movie to watch that's just enjoyable and not too serious, then I would recommend checking out Day Shift. It's very entertaining.
Day Shift is a mixed movie. On one hand, there is a lot of fun action and some fun characters (the brothers and Seth), but on the other hand the villain was horrible and there are a lot of mediocre characters. There were scenes that could have been added but they didn't. Bud's neighbor acts like they are (new updates) close friends even though she was only given 3 minutes of screen-time prior to the final scene. This makes the characters who are better than others shine even more. Overall, it's an enjoyable movie, but it could have been better.
Snoop Dogg makes the whole movie worth watching. Snoop Dogg is the best! He's the epitome cool.
