Critics Consensus

Game stars and an appealingly goofy premise aren't enough to make up for Day Shift's uninspired action-comedy hijinks.

Audience Says

Day Shift could have been a lot better -- but all in all, this action/horror/comedy hybrid is a pretty painless way to pass the time.

Ultimately, Day Shift feels like it has more in common with a video game than a movie.

Streaming audiences, from the comfort of their sofas, won’t complain. Viewers in a theater would not be so kind. Why? Because the bite in this vampire movie is only skin deep.

A-

Every action scene in Day Shift screams excess, but I couldn’t help but smile at everything the movie threw at me, even when it started to become increasingly cheesy.

3/5

"Netflix ’s Day Shift features some thrilling action scenes and a lot of well-timed humour, but the story often gets caught up in its own needless complexities."

Die Hard + Lethal Weapon + Blade = Day Shift. The ideal Friday Night movie.

Day shift is a really good movie starring Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. This is a for me kind of a dark comedy or comedy drama vampire type movie. Without spilling or giving away too much about the movie it also has a smidgen of family and the importance of family. Now this movie is suitable for most all ages there is no explict involved in this movie but there are some kills and some violence. So this movie may not be suitable for those who are squeamish. But I’m giving this movie 8 out of 10 stars I enjoyed it very much of course I like Jamie Foxx and I I really don’t know much about Snoop dogg’s acting abilities but he was pretty good in this one I have to say. I highly recommend this to people who like funny vampire family orientated drama films.

Intro to this film is crazy exciting, with new moves for the species of foe I've not enjoyed before. This is shaping up to be a fun ride with our main character and his buddy, and I'm sure the comedy is only to keep the Horror lively. This ain't no spoiler, but they got my attention playing Body Count during a fight sequence. There is plenty of action, and it's gorily fun and also a blast to witness. There are plenty of laughs and a few unexpected giggles that I didn't plan. The action and mayhem are inspired, and the commradarie is also very commendable.

Day Shift (2022) is a vampire movie that doesn't delve into their story and focuses heavily on exaggerated but fun action scenes. The beginning of the film is very slow and drawn out, only after 30 minutes does the story start to improve.

Not all movies are made for Oscar awards. If you can pass 2 pleasant hours with one, it's just fine. And this movie manages to do that, effortlessly.
