![]() When criminal Chris-R ( Dan Janjigian) threatens wayward, youthful creep Denny ( Philip Haldiman) at gunpoint in a dispute over missing drug money (on a rooftop for some reason), they play it as straight as day players on Law and Order hoping to put together a convincing highlight reel. This is pure melodrama, and I must emphasize that what makes this film work so well is that – with the singular exception of Mike Holmes, who mugs horribly at the camera about his “underwears” – all of these actors are playing this horrendous and overwrought material completely straight. Great friends like Mark ( Greg Sestero), a great girl like Lisa ( Juliette Danielle), a great betrayal when the two start sleeping together behind his back, and a series of additional random high-stakes subplots that are introduced and dropped without further ado. ![]() Johnny (Wiseau) is a young bank manager who seems to have it all. ![]() From his pallor to his dyed, jet-black hair to his uneasy laughter in an ineffable accent, Wiseau is a living cartoon vampire whose most enduring mark on the world has been to make his very best impression of a Hollywood film, which ticks every box that he thinks a film needs to tick. I’ve even pitched him movies, I said I gotta be in business with this guy and now finally here we are,” Foxx tells Complex. “I don’t call it a coming-out party, because we already know how great he is, but to me, he got a chance to flex every muscle that I knew he would be able to do and just take over the film.For someone whose birthdate, nationality, and endless source of funds are an enduring mystery to this day, Tommy Wiseau, the writer, director, producer, and star of the 2003 self-financed film The Room strikes me as essentially guileless. “I have been tracking Dave Franco for a long time. Foxx and Franco’s chemistry is the absolute highlight of the movie and made the bloody vampire flick worth watching. Complex caught up with the actors during a press junket for Day Shift in Miami and Foxx shared that he had his eyes set on working with Franco for years before they both signed up for the J.J. The tactic doesn’t work and Seth goes from a shy, dorky accountant to his partner in crime making their budding relationship the most hilarious aspect of the film. In order to be allowed in again, he gets assigned a union rep named Seth (Dave Franco) to supervise him so he stays out of trouble. When his ex-wife Jocelyn Jablonski ( Meagan Good) threatens to move away with their 10-year-old daughter (Zion Broadnax) to give her a better life, Bud goes crawling back to the union since they offer a higher premium for vampire kills. ![]() Now he is a pool cleaner in the San Fernando Valley to make ends meet, and kills vampires on the side to sell their fangs for extra cash. The film follows the story of a guy named Bud Jablonski (Foxx). Bud is a professional vampire hunter and killer but was kicked out of the vampire hunters union for breaking the rules and regulations. His range as an actor is impressive-who else can effortlessly go from Oscar-winning biopics to vampire-hunting action flicks? The vampire genre has been around since the beginning of time and with Day Shift, Foxx has teamed up with costar, Dave Franco, to deliver a fresh, fun iteration that is sure to provide fans of these styles of films with the kind of bloody gore and excitement they adore. Jamie Foxx lives to entertain, and that was exactly his goal with Day Shift.
