Edgy and worth viewing

If you like the apocalyptic genre this movie is a real treat for you. The subject matter is dark and depressing, very similar to movies like "The Road", where survival of the fittest, good versus evil, and kill or be killed are the bywords of "The Day". This one features 5 young survivors trying to find a way or a place where they can escape the horror of a world gone wrong following an apocalyptic event that leaves the world baron and surviving starving hordes are the nightmare enemy.

I thought the action scenes where somewhat confusing and purposely blurred leaving you that "what just happened" feeling more than once. That said, the story, the acting, and the drama were sufficient enough to make this movie a real keeper. I liked this one and if this movie does well at the box office maybe a sequel could be in the offing.

score 8/10
