DayShift Review by TheJonathanSim: An Alright Action Film Out of the Early 2000s
Vampire films have gone out of style. The concept of a creature with fangs sucking the blood out of people’s necks while being killed by garlic and sunlight is so absurd that they have primarily been used in comedy recently, as seen in films like.
This film is helmed by J.J. Perry, who has spent decades working in Hollywood as a stuntman, making this his directorial debut. This is a similar step taken bydirector Chad Stahelski, and they both use their background to create some excellent action sequences. This movie has a fair share of fights and chases, and at times, it feels like there should have been more of them, if only because the film is never as entertaining as it probably could have been.
Regarding actual issues, the villain, Audrey San Fernando , is extremely weak and forgettable. Her motivations are established, but there is nothing to put her above generic action movie villain territory. Furthermore, Heather gets a significant role in the final act that doesn’t feel earned due to a lack of screentime before it. It feels as if she appeared in a few deleted scenes, as her involvement in the plot is sudden and strange.

If you were looking to celebrate the birthday of that silent classic, which still casts a long and ominous shadow over all vampires films that have followed, you could do it with what's perhaps its exact opposite: the new Netflix action-comedy “Day Shift,” with Jamie Foxx as a San Fernando Valley vampire hunter.
