Synopsis

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.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
markredman123 After reading the comparatively bad reviews on this film I decided to buy it and give it a watch, I didn't expect much.Oh man was I wrong! One of the most enjoyable UK low budget movies I've seen in a long time, it had humour, interesting characters and very, very reverting storyline, bad movie? No way!!!! Well, the story wasn't original because it was a homage to the US cop movies. The action didn't quite blow me off my seat but it was good enough, love the fight between Donna Air and Claire Goose. Claire Goose was awesome in this roll killing people and working her way to the truth. Great twist at the end! Anthony Ofoegbu makes his debut I think, and does so convincingly, he was fun as the seen it, done it all cop, I was surprised at Donna Air's performance, she wasn't that bad, in fact she was really good, very believable. My guess is she had a good director behind her. Should you see this film? Yep! It's well directed by Ian David Diaz, with his visual style and mood he made something that kept me watching till the end. I was surprised! 9/10
Martin Lincoln 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.
jonsugar-810-133757 First thing to say is, this is a cool movie from beginning to end. The fight between Claire Goose & Donna Air was well done and the whole film is interesting and great to watch.The movie has a similar plot to other action cop thrillers, but you'll never know the outcome, it is the journey that's really great in this movie. It is the way Claire Goose's character does what she does, the way that she fights, kills and overcomes problems that pulls you into the movie and this is what makes this movie so great to watch.Claire Goose is great as the main character, she delivers an outstanding performance. I love to see an actor that can portray themselves in anyway, a good guy or a bad guy and in this film she fights to find her daughter's killer and she will not stop for anything.I loved this movie so much and had great fun watching it. If you love cop movies you must see this movie. All i can say is watch it, love it, go and buy it!
jasonallan0072003 Bad Day may be the single best UK low budget movie ever made, and quite fittingly it is by one of the most creative directors of the independent film world, Ian David Diaz. Don't know who he is? Just buy or rent out The Killing Zone a movie that was wrongfully denied of any attention from the British film industry but praised by Harry Knowles from Ain't it cool.This movie is really entertaining from beginning to end, the dialog is surprisingly hilarious for this type of film, and I think that's what has made it so unique. The film does not even reach a tenth the degree of violent represented by the average Tarantino film, and it relies, instead, on amazing performances, flawless direction, a great soundtrack and edgy, tense camera-work. I'm from the states and I order this movie on line because my DVD player can handle the European system DVDs. The film starts with a brutal murder by two black dudes, one being Dominic Debias and the other being Marlon Sage Kerr, who kick-start the film with unbridled meanness'. This scene is then followed by the heroine of the movie Rebecca Ryan played by the brilliant Claire Goose. From here on in you have entered a world of the cop movie (but it's set in England) with all the trappings, the no nonsense black boss (Robbie Gee), the good looking rookie cop played by the sexy Donna Air and the worn-out experience cop Darius Cruise played with excellence by Anthony Ofoegbu.The editing by Diaz is slick and even though it was all shot hand held the quick-cuts, close-up camera shots and the variety Bad Day has is not just held within inside its narrative, but within its technical side too. Then you have the brooding use of music composed by Dominic Glynn painting the film with a dark level of ill feeling. The set-pieces are also well crafted, the chase, the fight in the junk yard between Claire Goose and Donna Air, the shoot out in the restaurant and the climax in the church which was performed with such power by Claire Goose and Donna Air.For me Donna Air was the brake through performance of this movie her entire body: running, screaming, fighting, running some more: the being and thinking blond thing was part of her character, and my God she did an outstanding job! This is not to say that the rest of the cast didn't do as well because they did. Bad Day is, quite simply, a hard-boiled, cop movie masterpiece and definitely deserves a watch if you haven't seen it.
