He's Day shift is it worth watching on netflix? Here's our review of the new Jamie Foxx movie coming to Netflix on August 12, 2022.
Day shift with Jamie Foxx as Bud Jablonski (project power), Dave Franco as Seth (6 underground), Meagan Good as Jocelyn Jablonski (Shazam!), Snoop Dogg as the great John Elliott (Dolemite is my name).
A hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to give his resourceful 8-year-old daughter a good life. His mundane job cleaning pools in the San Fernando Valley is a front for his real source of income: hunting and killing vampires.
Why are we looking for the profession of "vampire hunter"?
If you're a classic character like Blade, you do it because a vampire killed your mother and turned you into a half-blood sucker.
If you're Bud Jablonski on Day Shift, it's just a job. Did you ever meet vampires when you were young? Did something tragic happen to him related to the undead? He never appears. Why is he doing something so dangerous that it puts him and everyone he loved in danger? For the salary. Pay well? Does he show off in California? He has a terrible apartment and can't pay the rent. So do you have a moral code that keeps you going? Make things safe for the world? Not particularly. This level of character development and world-building (or lack thereof) makes this film feel like a work of art when you watch it.
Perhaps, in more experienced hands, this movie might have solved some of those problems; Sadly, this film is Tyler Tice's very first screenplay and credit and the directorial debut of stunt coordinator/second unit director JJ Perry. Even with the extra help of veteran screenwriter Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3, Army of the Dead), this story gives us very little to remember. A villain with no clear vision, a union of vampire hunters with no background, and a host of secondary characters that aren't very useful to the plot (I'm looking at you, Nursing Neighbor).
I don't ask for much when it comes to action comedies, but I want to follow my leader into battle from the simple thread he runs throughout the film. This movie didn't do that for me.
The movie isn't that bad though.
Some action scenes shine as you'd expect from a longtime stunt coordinator at the helm. Snoop Dogg makes the most of his few scenes as the legendary (?) Big John Elliott. Certain musical selections from the infamous gangsta rap era of the 90s were undoubtedly inspired by the casting of Snoop Dogg. And my movie MVP, Dave Franco, pulls some levity out of an overly serious Jamie Foxx.
In this movie, Dave Franco brings back the charm of the straight guy and has a lot of fun doing it. From peeing his pants several times to explaining the virtues of Twilight saga, the character of "Seth" by Dave Franco brings the belly of the duo of cop buddies, the energy that the film desperately needed.
However, by the end of the film, we're left with a loosely-structured vampire film that doesn't dive into lore or shine in its entertainment value. After that and the lack of success of project powermaybe I'll think twice before pressing play on the new Jamie Foxx movie that Netflix is releasing next year.
Netflix Day Shift Best Scene
In the sole scene of dynamic vampire slaying duo The Nazarian Brothers, Bud reluctantly decides to split the profits of working with them. What begins as a simple takedown of some vampires turns into the discovery of a vampire nest and is arguably the best action scene in the entire movie! Garlic pomegranates, garlic flavored gum, shoes with knives, beheadings and a bunch of dead vampires make this the scene to watch.
Thanks to the crew for kicking things off with “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” from Ol Dirty Bastard.
RIPODB.
