Day X (2005)
3/10
"Day X" d.x.'d!
4 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is another one of those films that offers a view at what could possibly happen soon in the U.S. thanks either to foreign or internal terrorists. In any case, a lethal toxin is released in the air supply that causes brains to turn to jelly (And mine too wading through all of this!) and men into mindless animals bent on the desire for only one thing - to satisfy their insatiable hunger with any food source possible, including humans! Nevertheless, however similar these inhumans may be they are not zombies. The leading actor, Ken Edwards is about the only one who seems to know what acting is all about and is convincing as "Frank Chambers", a sort of C.I.A. meets F.E.M.A. type of guy. This film is not awful it's just sub-par for this genre, in my opinion. The story is not original and has been done so often recently and far better that I would recommend this only to those who feel they must see all of these types of films to actually prepare for a coming attack. Finally, on one odd note, I don't know for sure if she was Melissa Holmes, Paula Kavanaugh, Lyn Pierce or another actress, but she has an uncanny resemblance to Barbara Olson, the conservative commentator, author and lawyer who used to be often seen blinking and adding her $00.2 to many a "Larry King Live" show. As YOU may know, Mrs. Olson sadly died on the American Airline flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon, so it couldn't be her, but with all of the conspiracy talks, etc. I certainly did a double take upon viewing this feisty actress in this film. So, as far as that goes, check this out to see what I mean and, if anything, let's "big up" Ken Edwards, so we can see him in a better, future role. FuturePrimitive666.
