Any Day (2015)

Awesome Movie

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I liked this movie. Im new to the faith based movies and just love them. One of the things Ive noticed is that I have to take my critics glasses off, because if I dont there will never be a christian movie I'd like because they're all flawed. I didnt care that the choice of Sean Bean was unrealistic because of the age thing..as someone said not too many people boxing at that age. The child actor...I dont think he was THAT bad. And yes the story seemed thrown together, like they didnt care, but in the end it's all about God. Thats what christian movies come down to. Whether all their lives christians or total newbies, that's what these movies are made for.

Sean Bean- I have to give credit as he is a sensational actor, and he was in this film too. He performed fantastically in his role, but it wasn't enough to make this anything other than a really crappy let-down of a film. And here we learn the importance of a good screenplay........Three well known actors (and only one of them 'good' as far as I'm concerned) make up the leading roles in this movie but I'm worried that it only served to illustrate that they were only good in the roles they were most known for and have little else to offer? I'd hate for that to be true......... (I'm STILL not ready for Ned Stark to be dead.... I can't let it go..... :) :) :) ) I watched this movie while working on an art project but would never have been able to suffer through the entire thing if I wasn't otherwise occupied. Nothing redeemable about the film at all.Don't bother....... just be sad with the rest of us that Ned Stark is gone........ no matter what Sean Bean appears in, it's never going to make that suck less. :)

I spent 5 minutes of my life resetting my IMDb password to tell you that this is the most bizarre and stupidest movie I've ever seen. There is no defined tone. The protagonist is flat, flat, flat. This movie is whiter than the movie White Girls. What was going on in that house party / dance scene? just what. There is a scene transition every 30 seconds with the strangest music. The kid plays a robot playing a kid. I am so sorry for the people involved in this film. Someone did them very, very wrong. Of all the Sean Bean movies that he dies, his character survives this, but we'll see if his career does. I'm still just very confused about how this got made. Do people read scripts anymore?

I noticed this new release has only had one other review by Paul Allaer who seemed to dislike it very much . My own motives for seeing it was simply down to seeing a film before it went on general release and the fact it contains the novelty of a film starring Sean Bean where he plays an American character as in he doesn't speak with a broad Yorkshire accent . The remake of THE HITCHER was the only other film I can think of when Bean did this !!!! SUGGESTIVE SPOILERS !!!! After seeing AD I have to agree with Paul that it's not a great film and I agree with him the reasons why it's not a great film . It is a redemption plot and an all too obvious redemption plot and one with all too predictable twists . If someone says " No drinking or else" you can guarantee there will some drinking going on and else will indeed happen . One key plot turn quite literally rips off a scene from THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and a prior scene to take us there indicates this is a Christian film , though to be fair to the movie it's not really propaganda and doesn't equate atheists as being terrible people and believers as wonderful . It's up to the viewer's interpretation to take a certain scene as literal divine intervention or as a dream . That said the character interaction between Vian and Roland as they work all day together in a kitchen does have a ring of truth to it and the cast are very likable . Just a pity they weren't working with stronger material
