VOD: Day Shift (dir: J.J.Perry, 2022)

"You're so weird!"
"If only you knew..."

Jamie Foxx stars as a down-at-luck pool guy/maverick vampire hunter who makes an enemy of a coolly vicious and ambitious vampire and gets teamed up with an uptight suit-wearing pen-pusher (well played by Dave Franco) - think Blade meets Men In Black.  The mis-matched buddy-comedy elements run effectively if predictably, sunny California is used well, and the film is capably made with a number of nice incidental details deployed.  The vampires in this film are athletic and lively, with one particular extended vamps-nest fight sequence being extremely well choreographed, and overall the whole film is a slick, easy and undemanding watch.
