good back-story, and good acting

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

First there is blood and that is what i like its vuh blood. Black and white first like films of ancient times with lots of black and white blood and i am saying "where is the red blood? this looks like oil blood or petrol blood". After a few minutes colour comes onto screen and gets to the flowing of the red blood lots of it. The film by Julien Gilbey is 2 hours but he makes it magic and seem like its four hours. I stopped watching after two hours but really i only watched for one hours. Another clever thing Gilbey does is make the story of the Reckoning Day very very complicated so right from the gecko you don't know who is bad or who is good or who is what or what is who, so you are meant to stop thinking about the story and so then all of your brain is used up on the blood scenes. So many brapty guns and so much blood that comes out ov everyone that i didn't think there was even that much blood in the world let alone in just a film!! 3 people that you think have died are rebrought back into the film halfway through i was laughing and said "They were shot about six times in the black and white days of the film why are they still alive are they ghosts?" clever Julian Gilbey clever. No one in this film laughs and no one cries and no one smiles or looks angry and happy and some wear sunglasses and you cant see there eyes and no one can make their faces look like they can do anything in this film so it is difficult to see what people are thinking through their faces but you know everyone who has blood coming out of them are not happy.I don't know what happened at the end of this film because i went to bed but my friend said nothing happened that haddened already happened in every scene that had already been on.Ten stars out of ten

I picked this film due to the cover sounding pretty good and getting a 5 star rating from a magazine. This film is also made by the same guy as rise of the foot solider which was a brilliant film. I have never made a review after watching this felt i had to. Definitely the worst film I have ever seen along with the worst acting. Watched 15 painful minutes of this film and felt embarrassed for these so called actors. Cant believe I actually paid to watch this pathetic crap, the actors and cheesy and can be seen miming the words. They are post to be these deadly killers and all I can see is some mongy looking geek's probably still in uni. I would say the genre of this film is cheese core. A complete waste of time an money.

This film is like a lighting bolt to your brain! This is one of the best DVDs i've ever bought - in fact it is the best!!! The action is based around a new drug which increases the users attack by 10000% or something like that. If you like action then this is the big film for you!! The makers of this film must be genius and I hope they make a bigger one with a lot more money soon -i can't wait for it! JULIAN GIBLEY IS GOD! HE IS A GENIUS, HE IS THE FUTURE OF VERY GOOD CINEMA!!!! GENIUS, GENIUS, GENIUS....................!

Small SPOILERS alert !This is the kind of movie that you'll never see under normal conditions...Hidden on the lowest shelf in your local videostore or in the unknown cult department. At first sight, you won't care for it and only take it with you if you have absolutely nothing else to rent or ( such as in my case ) if a friend recommended it to you. And I'm glad he did, because Reckoning Day is one fun roller coaster ride of violence, indeed. Even before the opening credits appear, there already are 20 men dead or something and it doesn't slow down at all. Clearly, writer-director Julian Gilby didn't intend to make a deep psychological story but just a gore and hard action movie. Pretty sick if you're not used to seeing much but delicious if you like the genre. Reckoning Day rips off about 50 other movies and the story to itself doesn't make much sense neither. But, really...WHO THE HELL CARES ??? It's one fun movie and it'll keep you close to your TV set for a 100 minutes. It's about a group of assassins who made a career change. They're now into hard drugs and found their place in the market by selling something new called "unseen force". This particular drug makes you triples your strength and even keeps you running when you're badly wounded. The résumé of this drug: It makes Cocaïne and LSD look like gummy bears. Anyway, the leading man ( Charles Toll ) is about to export his product to Spain and to prevent that from happening, the Special Forces hired the only person who ever came close to beating Charles...An American named 'Ed'. Ed is not what you call a subtle cop and he fires guns about every time his face is shown on the screen. Except for the high level of action, there isn't much to say about Reckoning Day...the acting performances are below average but I don't blame them. None of them are professional actors and I suspect they made this film like a group of friends. The guy who played Stuart ( über-villain number 2 ) should consider a further acting career. That guy was cool ! He had a couple of cool one-liners too, by the way. Looks like writer director Gilbey has a bit of twisted world perspective but I like his style. Shameless, brutal and to the point. There should be more movies like this. Young directors should stop trying to be artistic and make more enjoyable things. Gilbey understood this. I hope his film will get some more attention within a few years.
