I can't believe all the good reviews for this film. Most of them are by people who joined the IMDb, gave this film a glowing review within 24 hours and then never contributed to the site or message boards again. What a coincidence!Anyway I had the choice of giving this a glowing review or an honest review. I chose to give an honest review to counter all the fake positive ones.I didn't like this movie at all. I didn't feel it was worth the cost of buying it.To deal with the positives first. Claire Goose is excellent in the lead role. There is one good fight scene between Claire Goose and Donna Air.That is the end of the positives I'm afraid.The negatives are everything else. Donna Air isn't as bad as her detractors suggest but she doesn't hold her own against Goose. The other performances are all weak. The script doesn't make sense. The low budget is all too apparent, Bad Day looks like a you tube video.

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?

Bad Day starts off slow but ends up a fast-paced thriller, at times the story is a little hard to follow but whatever confusion you experience the answers follow as the movie moves on. The film is great, I thought the acting was fantastic, the story dark and brutal and the ending and twist was worth the price of the rental, I don't want to go into too much detail you'll have to watch the movie to see what I am talking about. I'm glad that I gave the movie a chance, I'd say for you to give it a chance to. You'll be surprised. It's a good, decent UK film. Not a typical cops and robbers film but the writer and director Ian David Diaz made it all work. I will be looking for more of his stuff in the future! Rent this one if you have never seen it, worth every penny and every minute!I give this movie a perfect 10. Get it, see it, and recommend it to friends. An excellent Movie, well shot, well directed, solid story and a great ending!It's certainly a far cry away from the old Hollywood formula.

Although the film is perhaps a little slow at the start, the consequent results are brilliant. Claire Goose's performance is captivating and will only be fully appreciated once you've finished watching the movie. The supporting cast, including Anthony Ofoegbu, Donna Air, and George Calil provide the basis for this convincing crime thriller drama. One is required to discover the identity of the killer who had murdered Rebecca's (Claire Goose) daughter throughout the film, if it were not for the well thought-out script and professional dramatic acting, the climax in the church this would not have worked. You shall be left speechless and wondering how this film with very little money spent achieved its goal.
