Day of the Sirens

Day of the Sirens is a bad film. End of story. It may have the odd good thing in it, but it is a bad film. Saeed Jaffrey hammed beyond all belief, Rik Mayall blatantly couldn't give a toss and everyone else fell between panto and wooden. The plot is pathetic and badly writte, the dialogue is appalling, the camera work shaky at best, the sets and locations are terribly, continuity non-existent, the Spanish sub-plot irritating and pointless and the special effects were surely the result of a technician having a laugh. The production values are as low as you can get and one or two glaring inconsistencies in the plot and casting really do need to be pointed out to the director/writer. 1. Jewish boys are rarely named Christian. 2. They rarely have Irish Catholic mothers. 3. Elderly Asian gentlemen with strong accents are rarely called Albert Page. 4. Radio Juan is not funny. 5. Ripping off 'Seven' is not clever. Don't watch this film unless you're drunk and have a skip facility on your DVD player.

Stop Over Selling This Movie - PLEEEEEEASE. Rik's best performance yet!!!! Yes its good but not worth writting home for. His bully boy tactics in Bottom entailed more feeling and talent. Plus The Script Was Better!

The film is OK but, the one liners said in a very cheesy way make you wanna fast forward. The Guns Could Have Been Made To Look A Little Less Plasticy And The Whole Film Should Have Been Based Around And Even Called - "The Day Of Mr Albert Page" - because his storyline was the only heart felt one of the lot.

Worth a watch but be prepared for medioca acting, bad props and a few laughable moments when its not ment to be. Per Example The Doggy Doo Gun!!!! Again PLEEEEEEASE.

But all said - Well Done For The Ending!!!

A City, it could be any large City is being attacked by a terrorist group, they strike erratically, killing seemingly for no reason or purpose, they have make no demands, their victims are of different nationalities, ages, religions, ages. 'Day of the Sirens' is a post 9/11 movie, a nightmare waiting to happen, a dramatisation of a City under attack, confused helpless. Stark and chilling drama that will make you loose sleep.

I sat through the bad acting and cheap digital-camera feel, intrigued to see how the three separate storylines would eventually come together. Surprise, they didn't! Apart from the fact that all the 'central' events in the film took place on the same day, they had nothing to do with each other... or with anything else.

What a waste of time.

First you have this "a-sin" with this movie and another one called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in their review list, then you have this "captain_curthers" with this one and another called Little England.. and surprise surprise..They're all movies from the same company: Boudicca! Then you have a bunch of people with a single review in their list submitting the same review twice here. This is so stupid. If you want to promote your little movies, there's tons of other ways to do it than faking reviews in IMDB. By the way..The Movie is OK. Average. Nothing more. No big deal and definitely not an 8.7 movie, but that's just me being stupid...
