Redemption Day

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

thank you mester Hicham Hajji for this movie, I watched it and i think its an amazing movie and i want to say : morocco and moroccan thes are the best people of the world, from texas

Highly recommended action movie. The director has done a remarkable work. I would highly recommend the movie to you if you want ti watch a great action movie. This would be the best action movie I watched in the recent years.

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 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.

(Mauro Lanari) The director uses his own debut to show his technical skills with drones, long takes and sequence shots, waiting for a script worthy of the name.

Very bad Plot and Unoriginal, every thing is predictable and boring, Low budget effects & action, clear attempt to inject political propaganda. and even the ones are giving the movies positive feedback are Moroccans and director friends :D
