Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jan 4, 2021

Moroccan producer (French TV’s “The Bureau”) turned director Hicham Hajji has no sense of pace, and while he’s got “names” on board, he doesn’t give them much to chew on. The script has these half-hearted efforts to shoehorn third-act twists and political messaging into the picture, but they’re as a limp and obvious as one actor’s feigned southern drawl in the finale.

If Redemption Day were any more generic, the first thing you’d see on screen would be a bar code in place of the opening credits. Read full review

Hicham Hajji's debut — while featuring an impressive supporting cast and admirably attempting to inject political commentary into its mix — proves such a wan, ineffective vehicle that it leaves its star all dressed up with nowhere to go. Read full review

There’s not a thrill to be found in this ostensible thriller, a rote kidnapping exercise taped together with digital blood spatter and an overly dramatic score, vaguely gesturing at global crises from five years ago. Read full review

Time may feel like a flat circle, but the calendar says it’s January, so that means we get shoddy, dumping-ground dreck like the generically titled Redemption Day. Read full review

The film starts off relatively boring, even though the director tries to inject some tension by means of flashbacks. The kidnapping is uncreative and boring. In addition, the image of the good Moroccan, bad Algerian is always conveyed. The fact that the protagonist then goes off on his ownThe film starts off relatively boring, even though the director tries to inject some tension by means of flashbacks. The kidnapping is uncreative and boring. In addition, the image of the good Moroccan, bad Algerian is always conveyed. The fact that the protagonist then goes off on his own to free his wife cannot be surpassed in American fatuity. Clichés can be found in almost every scene. The film does not stand out from other hostage dramas in any scene.… Expand
