Bad Day (2008)
What a ghastly waste of time
21 July 2010
I'm still in shock, the following morning, at how atrocious this film was, and how I managed to sit through it with only short breaks to the loo and the fridge. This film has nothing to recommend it whatsoever - the plot is dire, the dialogue impossibly stilted and contrived, and the acting rates among the worst displays I have ever has the misfortune to witness. The gratuitous female violence will draw a few fans, granted, but even those fetishists will have a hard time sitting through such appalling pap. I could single out Donna Air for worst actress of the decade (a woman blessed with the looks of an east European model and a hard-to-identify Welsh-sounding accent attempting to carry off the role of a tough cop) but that would be to let the rest of the cast off too lightly; neither the main roles nor the bit-parts were played with an conviction or credibility. I guarantee this film will have you screaming in horror or laughing hysterically, depending on how you feel about devoting an evening to a truly dreadful piece of cinema.
