DayShift — starring Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, and Snoop Dogg — is a fascinating world that never quite reaches its potential.
In the opening minutes of Day Shift, the directorial debut of J. J. Perry, we follow Bud Jablonski , a pool cleaner in the San Fernando Valley who uses this business as a front for his real vampire-hunting business. Once the coast is clear, Bud abandons cleaning a dingy pool and goes inside, where he takes out two seething vampires, and then pulls their fangs out to sell on the black market.
Perry’s film mostly focuses on the encounters and subsequent fights that Bud engages in as he tries to get enough fangs to pay for his daughter's tuition and braces. This is where Day Shift shines, as Perry has decades of experience in the world of stunts, working on such films as Mortal Kombat, Iron Man, and Avatar. The fights in Day Shift are fast-paced and blunt, and almost always manage to feel spontaneous and brutal.

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.
