SummaryLife isn't going smoothly for Leo Jackson.

With a script that snaps, characters that pop, a blaze of streetwise attitude and enough firepower to pulverize a significant chunk of South Philadelphia, Next Day Air nears neo-blaxploitation perfection. Good things come in strange packages.

Director Benny Boom and screenwriter Blair Cobbs pull off the tough trick of investing profoundly stupid characters with humanity, while cinematographer David Armstrong plays gleefully with the grime-o-vision palette of '70s blaxploitation flicks.

A good movie with good characters and a good script, but bad execution. I wish the movie was a little longer, you can only get so much out of 1 hour and thirty minutes. But for a quick laugh, you could do worse.

imagine delivering a drug lords package to the wrong door which was just down the hall to the correct one. imagine being the guy dreadfully waiting for his bosses package and for it not to show up at all. a mix of events with old humor but not showing its age. Donald as leo presents the typical stoner millennial just **** by with a regular 9-5 living at his momma house. this action comedy displays that a slight error can cost lives. do your job correctly. shape up and survive.

Benny Boom built his reputation directing music videos and commercials, and his first feature, Next Day Air, falls somewhere between the blunt-force visuals of the former and the focus-grouped formulas of the latter.

Predictable, and stereotypical.

There's a serious miscalculation when the lighthearted hijinks suddenly give way to a climactic scene of brutal violence.

That's about all Next Day Air can muster by way of invention, trying to slap a new face on a gaggle of rote gestures in a vain attempt to cover its own uselessness. But no matter how big the guns it draws, every shot is a dud.

Might make a terrific double bill with the equally inane (but considerably more entertaining) "Con Air," with the French electonica duo Air chirruping in the background. But, you know, only if you're stoned out of your head.

I don't get if this was a comedy or what but I didn't laugh once if it was. Wasn't all that bad a movie but it wasn't really great either. You could not watch it and u wouldn't be missing much.
