If there’s anything positive to glean from “The Cold Light of Day,” it
would have to be its use as an educational tool, teaching young film
students how not to make a mid-budget action movie. Perversely
amateurish and astonishingly tedious considering its mouthbreathing
screen elements, the feature stumbles from scene to scene, using
violence and disorder to cover the fact that the script, credited to
Scott Wiper and John Petro, is a complete load of rubbish, from dialogue
to plotting. While the genre typically leans toward nonsense to provide
cheap thrills, “Light of Day” launches into absurdity in the opening
ten minutes and never recovers. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
