Bad Day Trailers

Rebecca Ryan has been working as an undercover agent for the Organised Crime Division (OCD) posing as a taxi driver, while investigating London's south-side mob. When she finds her young daughter Lynn brutally murdered she fears her cover has been blown wide open, so she turns renegade and begins a brutal campaign of vengeance against the mob she believes killed her daughter. As she trawls the seedy depths of London's underworld hunting down her daughter's killers, the lines between good and evil, right and wrong begin to blur as do her notions of justice and revenge. It falls to the world-weary OCD agent Darius Cuise and his newly-assigned, hot-tempered partner Abby Barrett to track down Rebecca and bring her in before all hell breaks loose.

Wasted enough of my time watching the film to waste much more reviewing it, so suffice to say it was bad. Acting = bad. Characters = bad. Script = bad. Story = bad. Fight sequences = bad. Driving in a wobbly car = bad. The over-illuminated dashboard = bad. The editing and score almost reached the dizzy heights of mediocre...but not quite and still = bad.It started off bad then progressed to a new level of bad especially when being introduced to moody cop saying 'same sh1t, different day' to himself...and he was also one of the writers.In fact, let's just comment about the writing. You know when one film pays homage to another by using some of the script...seems the writers thought this would be good but then changed every other word to avoid being the same resulting in what can only be described as...you've guessed it = bad.What it looked like, was a school project with no budget and 25 script writers disagreeing so much that every piece of dialogue was an unsuccessful compromise.Best bit was watching Donna Air being beaten up in a girl fight.It was bad, okay? Not even one of 'Girl's Aloud' in the cast saves it.My wife summed it up as the final credits rolled and she said, to the screen, "You should all be ashamed of yourselves". And if you do get this far, just ask yourself why all the detectives were blessed/cursed with OCD? Monk wannabes?

why do i keep wasting my time and energy watching uk movies with low production values? I've seen a lot recently and none of them deserves to be called a professional movie.This one has a famous British actress who has done television but never had any success in movies. If she had done success in movies then she would not have appeared in bad day.The other main girl is very good looking ( with false looking teeth)but she has an accent I could not place. Is she English or trying to sound English? She is one of two actresses with odd accents in this.The story makes no sense SPOILERS the Policewoman files a sexual harassment against a male cop then later tells him she is pregnant and tries to be his friend.There are some fight sequences but the movie does not make sense. A girl from Girls Allowed is in this...she is an embarrassing actress.The men actors are no better. I downloaded this and it was waste of effort

I wasn't going to buy this movie but after seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff on you tube I decided to buy. After watching this film I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. The film is quite slow at the beginning however it quickly gathers pace. The way the script introduces you to the characters is excellent and it's only when you see the scary Riana Husselmann who plays Marla pummelling the boyfriend of the Sarah Harding's character you think this film is going to be cool! Claire Goose is an excellent choice in the lead role; in fact she carries the physical action off very well, I read about the big fight between Claire and Donna Air and let me tell you it was well worth waiting for. I wasn't too sure on Sarah Harding, but she's minimal in the movie and when she does appear she's was very funny! (Didn't know she did funny) The action sequences are very well shot and direction is first rate. To this end, the overall movie has an excellent pace which kept me very well entertained. I'm not afraid to say I cried at the end scene, very moving, great direction and cinematography making this film a bit classier then you're average low budget UK thriller.Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend you seeing this. 10 stars!

This film has a reasonable story and is a decent enough action-filled romp. However, the dialogue is truly awful in places.The casting of Donna Air as a policewoman was a truly awful decision.She did not look at all believable in this role.Some of the acting is third rate.Victoria Broom and the police chief's performances were particularly poor, I thought. Claire Goose's performance, on the other hand, was very good and really quite believable.A 6 is pretty generous here.Lectureral
