Bad Day

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
