People are voting emotionally.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is a semi-faith based film that attempts to disguise itself. Vian (Sean Bean) beats a man to death. After 12 years in prison, he gets out and finds out no one wants anything to do with him. His sister (Kate Walsh) who believes "God will provide" reluctantly takes him for a few weeks, during which time he picks up Eva Longoria by asking her about her sign. Things go up for Sean and right when the story was getting ready to stall, the down slide happens to wake us back up.This was a slow moving drama about an ex-con, forgiveness, redemption, and Jimmy's rock. None of the theme aspects were done particularly well, but then again it wasn't bad...just meh.Guide: No swearing, or nudity. Implied sex.

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.

The warning sign should say "WARNING! This movie is so bad that you'll waste even more time giving it bad ratings on IMDb" Ned Stark died for this? It's like the actors didn't even try and the director was happy was with them just getting the lines right, no acting needed, and kept the takes to a minimum. As a previous commentator stated, flat, flat and flat.It's not physically possible to give spoilers to this film, only warnings... Here goes, Eva Longoria is being stalked by a really creepy guy who waits outside her house like every day she comes back from work, but hey, let's go grab some pizza because it's got basil on it.The mother of the kid (who probably got paid in ice cream because he couldn't act at all) reacted to his coma state like he'd just got a new retainer at the dentist, ah so around 4 to 6 weeks? Anyone else surprised Sean Bean looked the same age after 12 years in prison? The make up department's contribution to that one was handing his younger version a sports jacket... Genius Like I said, there should be warning signs on these type of movies telling how bad they are...

"Any Day" (2015 release; 101 min.) brings the story of Vian (played by Sean Bean). As the movie opens and the opening credits roll, we see him at a party, drunk and getting into an argument with another guy. Vian, a professional boxer we later learn, ends up pummeling the guy to death (literally)and Vian is imprisoned. After the opening credits, we are informed that we are "Twelve Years Later" and Vian is released from jail. Not knowing where to go, he is turned away from his former boxing club and in desperation goes to his sister Bethley (played by Kate Walsh). She very reluctantly agrees to let him stay for two weeks at her house, as long as Vian doesn't booze. It's not long before we see Vian in the grocery store and getting to know Jolene (played by Eva Longoria), and he asks for her phone number right then and there. Along the way, Vian is also desperately looking for a job and catches a break when he gets a cooking job at a pizzeria managed by Roland (played by Tom Arnold). To tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.Couple of comments: this movie is written and directed by Rustam Branaman, best known for his acting work in front of the camera. I can see the good intentions of this movie: tough guy with a good heart is re-entering society and really wants to do right this time around. Unfortunately, the scrip is incredibly weak and utterly predictable. There is no tension to speak of in the movie. Worse, the scenes where the emotions get high, are utterly unbelievable. As I was watching this, I felt sorry for the wasted talents of Eva Longoria. She looks utterly and completely lost in this movie. How did she end up in this mess? I admit I struggled to make it through the end of the movie but I somehow did. You don't have to suffer the same fate...I saw this movie recently at the Silverspot Theater in Naples, FL, where a bunch of movies from the 2015 Palm Beach International Film Festival were featured. I had never heard of "Any Day" and literally took a chance on this, simply on the fact that Longoria is in this. I shouldn't have, and in all honesty, I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. Viewer beware!
