Bad Day

I don't know who gives David Ian Diaz the money to make these things but this is another one of his 'lots of people get shot but there's no plot' movies. Thankfully its better than Fallen Angels but its still awful.

Donna Air is unconvincing as a tough cookie, some of the supporting cast are wooden and it doesn't make much sense. this is definitely not worth buying, only worth renting if you're desperate. Thankfully I didn't pay to see it.

There are lots of glowing reviews on here presumably by people connected to the movie and the negative reviews have been systematically deleted..don't be tricked into thinking this is good. You'll have a bad day if you spend time or money on this.

One of the silliest crime movies I've seen in awhile. Claire Goose stars as an undercover detective working as a taxi courier. She's fallen in love with the guy she's supposed to be tracking. Donna Air unbelievably is a hardened police detective who's pregnant to a totally repulsive fellow detective. Claire Goose's character finds her daughter dead and goes on a rampage killing everyone she believes has anything to do with the murder. She's heading for her boyfriends sister, who is a total nutcase. There's some decent action sequences but that's the least you should expect in a thriller.

One to be watched and forgotten.

This film has a reasonable story and is a decent enough action-filled romp.

However, the dialogue is truly awful in places.

The casting of Donna Air as a policewoman was a truly awful decision.

She did not look at all believable in this role.

Some of the acting is third rate.

Victoria Broom and the police chief's performances were particularly poor, I thought.

Claire Goose's performance, on the other hand, was very good and really quite believable.

A 6 is pretty generous here.

RIGHT, so I saw some of the reviews on IMDb and thought OK let's see for myself. My husband wanted to see the movie so I brought it on line. Do not be fooled by the reviews on this site. I don't know if these people are haters of UK films or just movie snobs, but it was a good movie. It has a good pace, bits of action and the story has a few twists, all in all it is a good low budget movie. The director did a very good job, Claire Goose was brilliant but Donna Air was so wrong for the part she was cast as, but she did a fair job. The movie is basically about an undercover cop, (Claire Goose), who goes on a killing spree when she finds her daughter dead. Two cops one being Donna Air is assigned to bring her back. I won't spoil the rest of the movie but I have to say I thought it was really good. See for yourself and don't go on the bad reviews said here.

It wasn't easy, but I was curious, so carried on watching it. My advise, if you manage to watch the first 35 minutes, the dynamics change and the pace becomes faster. Seems as if something changed in the whole movie. Theoretically it's the same director... Otherwise the end of the movie is a bit surprising. The plot could have been developed to an exciting thriller with more artistic approache to the faith that governed the story, so that opportunity was missed. I guess being a low budget movie you cannot expect better cinematography neither. The six stars are for the movie after 35min. Before that I'd give maybe 3 stars.
