Good Day for It

A good day to tell the truth? Why do we have to have so many characters to write about? All I want to say, is that it has a good ending. But it was too slow!!

With an excellent cast, this fine crime thriller was well worth watching. It was very tense by times - the viewer is never sure how it is going to play out toward the end.

It was nice to see the likable Hal Holbrook in one of his last roles. Jason Patrick, who stars in the main role in this one, has been an underrated actor over the years. The actors playing the villains perform well too - it was interesting to see Lance Henriksen in the role of the boss in a criminal gang.

Although it's a modern crime thriller, it's a lot like a good western, with plenty of drama before the showdown near the end. It definitely deserves a better rating and it's a bit sad how few people have seen it.

Hats off to Robert Patrick, Hal Holbrook and writer/director/producer Nick Stagliano for an engaging, entertaining and very original film, GOOD DAY FOR IT. Without revealing too much, the movie lures you in with one possibility and then unfolds many others as it evolves. A simple, beautifully shot tale of how life can force you to make tough choices but that, occasionally, love can prevail. With an outstanding supporting cast (Kathy Baker, Mika Boorem, Lance Henriksen, Robert Englund, Joe Flanigan, Richard Brake AND Christian Kane), the movie artfully combines humor, drama, captivating cinematography and a terrific soundtrack by alternative country singer/songwriter Matthew Ryan. See the film - I'm sure you'll be glad that you did!

I loved this film!! Watch it and don't miss it!! There are some really wonderful cameos.

The main highlights here are the excellent cast who all are stellar in their parts; particularly Robert Patrick. If you are a suspense fan you will appreciate the building up of tension done very well here; later things slide and are wrapped up rather quickly and predictably. Enjoy it for the cast, tension and acting. Nice soundtrack also enhancing the suspense and experience.
