Comes a Bright Day (2012): A romantic thriller set during the armed robbery of one of London's most exclusive jewelers. 5.6
Director: Simon Aboud
Writer: Simon Aboud
Stars: Timothy Spall, Imogen Poots, Craig Roberts
The core of the basic plot-line is credible. And, that's about it for this movie; it all goes downhill from there. The dialog is atrocious. There seem to be discontinuities in the character's thinking and coversations (or monologues). In one minute he/she is calm and in the next scene they get all mad for no bloody reason. The robbers seem to be dumb and the hostages are even dumber. It is just one lousy script and badly worked-out storyline. The IMDB snippet above says this is a romantic thriller, but I could find very little romance (stupid infatuation, maybe) and no thrilling moments at all. I guess, this is what happens when the director thinks that his story is fantastic, and the writer in him thinks there's no one better to direct the movie. Bad, bad movie; no popcorn! My Rating: 5.5
