Dragon Day

I have never given such a low rating before, but this movie had no redeeming factors and it therefore deserved such a dubious distinction.

The acting was complete cardboard with most of the time my wishing the main characters would get killed off since they were so annoying. To add to the distaste, the characters simply weren't believable either.

Add to that an extremely poor plot with more holes than my grandfather's underwear, with a great big dollop of the incredulity bred of a hundred plot points where you yourself could think your way out of it or it simply wasn't feasible, and you honestly have a sincere waste of time.

The good people of the P.R. of C. suddenly decide they've just about had it with the U.S. of A.'s outstanding debt and subsequently pull the proverbial rug from under their feet by activating some secret backdoor that renders all Chinese microprocessor powered machinery useless. America grinds to a halt, the Chinese starve them into submission, chaos ensues. Blah. Blah.

As if the underlying premise wasn't idiotic enough, the acting, the directing and the editing made short work of everything else. Rarely have I ever seen a movie as lame and as pitiful as "Dragon Day".

In a twisted sort of way, I'm actually glad I soldiered on until the end as sure enough the ending was the icing on the cake, with the protagonist once again resorting to an act of unspeakable stupidity involving a (Chinese made, I'll bet) power tool. You HAVE GOT to see it to believe it.

The fact that garbage such as this actually gets funded is in and of itself far more of a threat to America's integrity than anything an enemy could conjure up from the outside.

The movie is total disaster. Do not waste your time.

What a great story. This movie has the storyline of a big budget movie. Definitely worth watching.

Now, I have to say that the acting was a bit spotty. It wasn't uniformly great, but pretty good nonetheless. Largely, the problem with the acting was bad timing, and I don't think that was the actor's faults. There were scenes where the cinematography was a bit off and editing could have been better. The action scenes were a bit stifled and could have done with better choreography. There was definitely a place for some big action and explosions, but this movie (I'm assuming because of a constrained budget) didn't go that route. But, again, overall a good movie. This is one of those low budget movies that could be really successfully remade into a blockbuster. That said, this movie stands head and shoulders above other low budget movies I've seen.

In short: Worth watching.

This movie was bad all around. The acting was terrible and timing was bad. cinematography timing and quality all bad. Story as it progressed was unbelievable and unrealistic. script was just really, really bad. unsuccessful knockoff of red dawn. This really was one of the worst movies I watched this year but it was all I had. I have seen sci-fi channel movies that were better than this. Watch it if you want but you won't get that time back. I don't even know what else to say about it to take up the remaining ten lines. I guess if you are really bored you could watch it and be entertained by how bad it is. Some people are into that kind of thing...
