Jamie Foxx stars as a hard working blue collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters.

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.

Wow, what a piece of garbage. Watched this with friends and drinks last night. Jamie Foxx seems to be embarrassed to be in this. And he should be. DO NOT WASTE TIME WATCHING. Sure some effects are good (mostly CGI). Crappy script tries to build character backstories. Fails miserably. Looks like TV show lighting. Lots of plodding dumb dialog. This must have been pitched to Netflix execs who know nothing. One of the worst things I've suffered thru in a long time. Would have turned it off but had the gang here, too late to find new one to watch. If film says "Netflix presents " at the start. Beware. Yes, I am pissed. Worthless by the numbers junk.

I liked this movie. I don't get why it got a splatter on rotten. Super good production. Love the set they used. I love that they used a list actors on a movie genre like this. I hope they make more.

Decent, if forgetable. Has that refreshing self-aware B-movie wibe about which makes one more lenient on all the cliches and tropes. With just a bit more work into pretty much everything, this could have been a pretty good one. But even so, adequate to pass the time.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
