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.

I'm still in shock, the following morning, at how atrocious this film was, and how I managed to sit through it with only short breaks to the loo and the fridge. This film has nothing to recommend it whatsoever - the plot is dire, the dialogue impossibly stilted and contrived, and the acting rates among the worst displays I have ever has the misfortune to witness. The gratuitous female violence will draw a few fans, granted, but even those fetishists will have a hard time sitting through such appalling pap. I could single out Donna Air for worst actress of the decade (a woman blessed with the looks of an east European model and a hard-to-identify Welsh-sounding accent attempting to carry off the role of a tough cop) but that would be to let the rest of the cast off too lightly; neither the main roles nor the bit-parts were played with an conviction or credibility. I guarantee this film will have you screaming in horror or laughing hysterically, depending on how you feel about devoting an evening to a truly dreadful piece of cinema.

Bad day for acting yeah

I'm having to watch this as if it's a comedy.

Because it's worse than a secondary school production..

Bad wigs and character outfits ( over sized gold chains)

Low budget

Over exaggerated characters

Unbelievable story lines.

Scenes that make no sense

Poor camera work

Just such a strange thing to find on Netflix in 2022. I'm pretty disappointed that my subscription allows for it.

It was so bad it was interesting to see how bad it would get and if the actors could rest keep a straight face whilst reading the script and filming the scenes.

I just can't believe it.

Wasted enough of my time watching the film to waste much more reviewing it, so suffice to say it was bad.

Acting = bad. Characters = bad. Script = bad. Story = bad. Fight sequences = bad. Driving in a wobbly car = bad. The over-illuminated dashboard = bad. The editing and score almost reached the dizzy heights of mediocre...but not quite and still = bad.

It started off bad then progressed to a new level of bad especially when being introduced to moody cop saying 'same sh1t, different day' to himself...and he was also one of the writers.

In fact, let's just comment about the writing. You know when one film pays homage to another by using some of the script...seems the writers thought this would be good but then changed every other word to avoid being the same resulting in what can only be described as...you've guessed it = bad.

What it looked like, was a school project with no budget and 25 script writers disagreeing so much that every piece of dialogue was an unsuccessful compromise.

Best bit was watching Donna Air being beaten up in a girl fight.

It was bad, okay? Not even one of 'Girl's Aloud' in the cast saves it.

My wife summed it up as the final credits rolled and she said, to the screen, "You should all be ashamed of yourselves". And if you do get this far, just ask yourself why all the detectives were blessed/cursed with OCD? Monk wannabes?

I can't believe all the good reviews for this film. Most of them are by people who joined the IMDb, gave this film a glowing review within 24 hours and then never contributed to the site or message boards again. What a coincidence!

Anyway I had the choice of giving this a glowing review or an honest review. I chose to give an honest review to counter all the fake positive ones.

I didn't like this movie at all. I didn't feel it was worth the cost of buying it.

To deal with the positives first. Claire Goose is excellent in the lead role. There is one good fight scene between Claire Goose and Donna Air.

That is the end of the positives I'm afraid.

The negatives are everything else. Donna Air isn't as bad as her detractors suggest but she doesn't hold her own against Goose. The other performances are all weak. The script doesn't make sense. The low budget is all too apparent, Bad Day looks like a you tube video.
