Why watch this film?
Sometimes we just want to hit the "play" button and embark on a fun journey that doesn't require too much from our (tired) neurons. Netflix's 'Day Shift' is exactly that. In the movie, Jamie Foxx ('Spider-Man: Far From Home') is Bud, a father who is threatened by the possibility of his ex-wife moving to the other side of the country, taking their daughter with her. To prevent this, he needs to make more money in his job - which turns out to be, believe it or not, hunting and killing vampires. But he also has to deal with a new partner on the streets - played by Dave Franco ('The Artist'). The result is a production that mixes paternal elements with the plot of buddy cop comedies (like 'Lethal Weapon') and the blood of gore, a subgenre of horror. Unfortunately, the entertainment gets lost in a confusing script, with many holes and that does not follow its own rules that it proposes for this fictional universe - besides the presence of a villain (played by Karla Souza, from 'How to Get Away with Murder') that does not mesh. Now, if you just ignore all that, you'll find a mental "screen rest", which gains some body in Franco's performance and, mainly, in the presence of Snoop Dogg. It's amazing: the rapper doesn't even have to open his mouth to get some smiles from the audience. Click here to read the full review.

Action
In the Land of Saints and Sinners
In the Land of Saints & Sinners shows that Liam Neeson hasn't given up on action cinema; he has just transformed his way of acting in shoot-'em-up films. Instead of resorting to fistfights, the Irish star seeks more reflective films where the tension arises from other points. In this Prime Video original movie, in a remote Irish village, Finbar (Neeson) is forced to fight for redemption after a lifetime of sins, but what price is he willing to pay? In the land of saints and sinners, some sins cannot be buried. An action movie with a calmer approach, like action movies after 2020, with a good performance by the Irishman, complemented by Kerry Condon (brilliant in The Banshees of Inisherin).
Bad Boys II
Hang on for maximum mayhem, full-on fun and the wildest chase scenes ever put on film! The action and comedy never stop when superstars Martin Lawrence and Will Smith reunite as out-of-control trash-talking buddy cops. Bullets fly, cars crash, and laughs explode as they pursue a whacked-out drug lord from the streets of Miami to the barrios of Cuba. But the real fireworks result when Lawrence discovers that playboy Smith is secretly romancing his sexy sister, Gabrielle Union (Bring it On). Director Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Hawk Down) deliver a high-speed, high-octane blockbuster that will blow you away!"...Year's most action-packed and high-flying flick." (Shawn Edwards, FOX TV).
Bad Boys
From director Michael Bay (The Rock, Armageddon) and the production team of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer (Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun) comes a thrill ride of explosive action from beginning to end. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up as partners in crime, crime-fighting that is, in this action-packed flick about a couple of good guys who are real Bad Boys! One hundred million dollars worth of confiscated heroin has just been jacked from police custody. Once the career bust of Detective Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), the missing drugs now threaten to shut down the narcotics division of the Miami Police Department. When the drug investigation turns deadly, the murderers kidnap the only witness, a beautful police informant (Tea Leoni) and close friend of the boys, which makes things get personal! Fast cars, a gorgeous woman and non-stop action make Bad Boys a guaranteed good time!
Bad Boys: Ride or Die
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is the fourth film in the franchise that began in the 1990s, under the direction of Michael Bay, and has seen its world transformed. Bay has become a director both loved and hated due to the Transformers saga, Will Smith won an Oscar, and Martin Lawrence's career didn't take off as anyone in the early 2000s would have thought. Even so, the saga of the two unconventional cops continues: in this fourth chapter, the visuals still echo music videos, the theme song still sticks in your head, and above all, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who already helmed the third film, continue with the blend of unbridled action and over-the-top comedy to attract new audiences while constantly nodding to fans of the past. If you turn off your critical sense for two hours, you might find room to have fun.
