Day Shift (Netflix) Review

Day Shift (Netflix) Review


Nothing will prepare you for where Jamie Foxx's Day shift is headed with its opening shot, despite the fact that many movies have
depicted a sunny day in the San Fernando Valley. It's amazing how the movie draws comparisons to the real version of the valley, which is so different but also very similar in many ways. Who says a hotshot vampire can't run a real estate company, for instance, when the jobs in San Fernando Valley remain the same? The vampire hunter who doubles as a pool cleaner is played by Foxx as Budd Jablonski, who represents the lower classes.

J.J. is the director of Day Shift. Perry is a renowned stunt performer and coordinator, so his decision to make this a nonstop action adventure while retaining some humor and drama is a great one. The first sequence of Foxx's Jablonski entering a house and running into an undead person—and not just any undead person, but an elderly one at that—establishes the director's intention to show us Bud's killing escapades right away. As we get ready for more bloody action, this particular scene establishes the tone for the entire picture.

In Day Shift, we also get to see Bud (Jamie Foxx) from a different perspective. Bud is a parent who is trying his best to leave his blue-collar life behind and support his young daughter, who needs expensive dental work and schooling. Jablonski, who is starved for cash, is forced to re-join the Union after being expelled for his hunting habits in order to earn USD 10,000 in a week.

While there may not be any novel techniques for hunting vampires in this Hollywood production, Perry recruits Cirque du Soleil contortionists to play the most acrobatic vampires you've ever seen, so the action sequences in this movie continue to receive the most of the attention. The vampires in the movie each have their own set of loyalties; some are to humans, while others require Bud to go on a killing spree.

The most concerning parts are when the action sequences seem out of place or unnecessary for the story even if they are the main focus of the movie. Not to add how little time is spent developing Audrey, the movie's evil (Karla Souza).

Regarding the lighthearted section of the movie, it's when Franco's Seth and Foxx's Jablonski hook up that we really feel like we're seeing a buddy comedy. The lighthearted laughs are much-needed amid all the loud action that keeps coming at us without taking as much of a breather, so these moments work in the movie's favor. If one chooses to utilize their intellect to appreciate this horror comedy and asks questions, Day Shift falls short in that it offers very little explanations for the whys and hows of the plot. We learn more about Audrey's motivations in the second half, but by then it's too late.

When it comes to acting, only Jamie Foxx has the ability to convert a weak story into something worthwhile. With Day Shift, the actor accomplishes this by inspiring us to care about Bud's progress. The actor, who portrays Jablonski, possesses both the right charisma and promising motion to deliver such fast retorts with ease. Dave Franco, who plays Seth in some of the movie's funniest scenes, matches his vigor and unexpectedly gels with him in a scene where he vehemently defends the Twilight sequels. You will understand how crucial an element casting is for this movie when you add the extra cool factor supplied by Snoop Dogg, who wears a cowboy hat and delivers some wisecracking lines.

If you choose to not take Day Shift too seriously, you may simply sit back and enjoy it. Consider it a two-hour rollercoaster that isn't half as horrible as a vampire comedy with outrageous action. Given that these characters will stick in your mind for a while, it's the kind of movie that could start a franchise.
