Daybreakers by The Spieirig Brothers

There is a lot on show in Daybreakers I just wish more care had gone into making a cohesive interesting film.

There is much to like style and concept wise especially in the first 20 to 30 minutes of the film but not long after that it goes way down hill.

The Spieirig Brothers know how to direct but writing is not their forte. They brought us the fantastic almost off the cuff horror film Undead a few years back and have since then been trying raising the money for their second helping. While the feat of getting Lionsgate to back this film and get upwards of twenty million to shoot the film, you just wish more time had gone into the script then to getting the money.

It really is fantastic premise with great allegories to the oil crisis but there is little else to like about the script.

The world they create through the use of special effects is fantastic but I left wanting to watch Dark City again rather than talk about Daybreakers.

The acting is all one note pretty much with a few standouts but that ain't too hard when everyone else seems to phoning it in.

That's all I can say about it.

Fantastic vision, poor execution.
