Day Shift (2022)

Jamie Foxxand Dave Franco star in the vampire hunting movie "Day Shift". The story is about a hardworking blue collar dad who wants to provide a decent life for his smart daughter. But his boring job cleaning pools in San Fernando Valley, California, is only a facade for his real income source, hunting and killing vampirics as part of the international Union of vampire hunters.

The premise sounds interesting, but can J.J. Perry deliver the goods?

The movie's first scene is an action sequence featuring Jamie Foxx firing a shotgun at a woman who turns into a vampire. This leads to a hilarious fight between the two of their characters that is a total blast. I feel like the movie really has fun with this kind of rag-doll physics in its action scenes, making those sequences pop in a way that a lot of the Netflix action movies (or action blockbusters these days) don't.

Day Shift, another lighthearted and fun film, was one that I really enjoyed. It was fun and entertaining. I enjoyed the humor and found myself laughing quite a lot. It did draw inspiration from some brilliant vampire films, such as Blade and Lost Boys. These films are also some my favorites. The acting was good all around, the directing was great and the cinematography was quite good too. Day Shift, a (first published) movie that is both enjoyable and not too serious, is worth a look. It's a lot fun.

Day Shift is a mixed movie. On one hand, there is a lot of fun action and some fun characters (the brothers and Seth), but on the other hand the villain was horrible and there are a lot of mediocre characters. There were scenes that could have been added but they didn't. Bud's neighbor acts like they are close friends even though she was only given 3 minutes of screen-time prior to the final scene. This makes the characters who are better than others shine even more. Overall, it's an enjoyable movie, but it could have been better.

Snoop Dogg is the star of the movie. I mean, who doesn't love Snoop Dogg? He's the definition of cool.
