One of the most notable Netflix releases this August is "Day shift"a comedy horror starring Jamie Foxx give life to a father who leads a double life. By day, he works as a pool cleaner, but his real job comes at night as a vampire hunter.
On paper, 'Day Shift' promised to be a wild and fun pastime and end up among the best Netflix movies of 2022 - but, unfortunately, the reality ends up being something different. Yes, it arouses a certain sympathy and you never get bored, but you never manage to really squeeze what he offers and ends up staying in an entertainment to use and throw instead of a memorable title.
Virtues and limits of the 'Day Shift'
The truth is that 'Day Shift' is a film that oscillates between the simple and the basic at all times. The scenario of Tice Tyler Yes Shay Hat ("Army of the dead") certainly offers some rather curious ideas, especially in relation to this union of vampire hunters which upsets the protagonist, but he then has no great interest in developing it beyond a handful of unequally effective jokes.
Here the indisputable axis is the character of Foxx and the compromised situation in which he finds himself which could lead him to lose his family. There, 'Day Shift' seeks to find that necessary emotional factor to give the film a bit more depth, but this is where everything is at its most basic. Everything one would expect from a plot of these characteristics is there, also presented in a fairly obvious way and without offering anything for the viewer to really care about what is still the fundamental axis of the story. .
Fortunately, the presence of humor is a constant and this makes 'Day Shift' much more bearable, both when it comes to more typical solutions, such as the fact that the character of David Franco to be an office rat without any field experience, because in looking for something more distinctive, I am thinking here above all of the rare but effective appearances of Snoop Dogg as a highly respected vampire hunter who owes a debt to the protagonist. There he strikes a certain balance to avoid becoming a burden, which I feared at one point.
It is also true that it causes the most terrifying aspect of 'Day Shift' is watered down, being cut down to very specific moments and turning the menace of vampires into something more typical of an action movie. Attention, it also leaves joy like this huge battle in which two brothers participate in the fiction, one of them played by Scott Adkins.
It's precisely in the action moments where the fact that 'Day Shift' has a director is most noticeable, because at times he almost seems to want to get closer to being a 'John Wick' heir. I wonder if these scenes are shot by JJ Perry or the second unit team, but this is where the film has a certain audacity in certain scenic solutions. Then it's true that it doesn't have the necessary continuity for them to shine overall -with the exception perhaps of the one already mentioned, where the only downside is that it risks being too long-, but this is where we might momentarily think we're up against something more than just a silly thing to hang around with.
fly low
Otherwise the movie does not stand out visually, coming quite close to the Netflix look to care more about how it looks on the devices most used to view its content than about developing its own identity. In other facets, too, there's no particular concern as it really does look like a $100 million movie â how could it possibly be more expensive than the great 'Bullet Train'? -, because even the special effects are not very successful.
And it's not because he doesn't have the chance, that on more than one occasion he draws dialogues to explain the different types of vampires his protagonists have to face, something that should have been used more when he shows them on screen. At the end, When it comes to creatures, quantity is more important than anything else.
Lo que nos queda al finale es una pelĂcula impulada por la presencia de un Foxx mucho mĂĄs inspired y convincingnte que en 'Proyecto Power', su anterior pelĂcula en Netflix, la acertada dosis de un humor sencillo pero efectivo y losaciertos puntuales en las escenas of action. Of course, I would like to have more than that - at least try to have a little more personality - but in this case Just see it and not regret doing it.
Short
âDay Shiftâ promised to be better than it really is, but at least it's not another one of those bad Netflix movies. With all, you can see if you want to lie on the sofa, enjoy the air conditioning and forget about the enormous heat for a while to do outside, because it does not give much more.
