Viewers will probably have many questions after watching “A Day to Die,” but co-writer/director Wes Miller isn’t too concerned with maintaining coherency with the endeavor. He’s out to pound on the senses with the material, which plays like a dollar store version of 2018’s “Den of Thieves,” dealing with bad guys and not-so-bad guys as they chase after stacks of cash and engage in power plays. Those who’ve been following recent trends in VOD cinema will find all of this very familiar, including rough technical achievements and the appearance of Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo in supporting parts, with these two men incapable of turning down anything, always up for a paycheck. “A Day to Die” is a low-budget action movie, and Miller doesn’t deliver anything more than that, going painfully generic with shootouts and showdowns, often caught skipping on storytelling clarity as this nonsense unfolds.
