Review of Day Shift (2022) by Bountyhunter — 17 Aug 2022

This new Netflix original movie stars Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco in a action comedy vampire hunter movie. Right out the gate this movie has a great action piece with Bud played by Jamie Foxx taking on a vampire.

The story is pretty simple, Bud who is going through marriage problems and is trying to provide for his daughter all while pretending to be a pool boy but is actually a Vampire hunter. Who is accompanied by Seth played by Dave Franco who is apart of the Vampire Hunters Union.

Meanwhile our Villain is trying take over LA with houseing units to have more Vamps move in. I find it interesting that there is a Vampire Hunters Union in this movie, its funny to hear the random guidelines they have to follow and all the rules Bud violated in the past.

Also how overly strict they are and its always nice to have a movie with interesting Vampire Lore. The action is top notch in this movie which is to be expected being Directed by J J Perry who has done stunt work and 2nd unit director for tones of action movies.

This is his first movie he has directed. This movie has tons of gore and violence, great Vampire kills and its fun to see Jamie foxx take them down. There is alot of vampires getting scorpioned in this movie which is hilarious.

If you dont know its when you get ur face slammed so hard into the floor ur legs come up in the back. We do get a brief guest star from one of the best action stars in modern day Scott Adkins playing a Russian Vampire Hunter with Steve Howey playing his brother.

The big fight scene that they are in is bad ass. Tons of different kills and one of the coolest reloading's I've seen in movies recently. Wish they were in the movie alot more. We also have Snoop Dogg in this movie playing Big Jon Elliott who is known as a bad ass vampire hunter in his own right.

Ima give Snoop props he does a pretty good job in this movie. Also we cant forget the lovely Meagan Good who plays Jamies wife and Zyon who plays his daughter and she does a good job in this as well. Some negatives is the villains motives are alittle weak and not alot of depth to her character.

The pee jokes were alittle much, you can have a nervous character and not do that joke. But other then that I had alot of fun with this movie, good jokes, alot of really good action and good chemistry between Jamie and Dave.
