[Director Benny Boom] keeps the proceedings competent in the face of a labyrinthine plot that begs for more so-called flair than it deserves.November 04, 2009
Nearly every scene is a play on the perception that the accumulation of wealth will bring social validation and self-worth.May 11, 2009
An amusing tail of incompetent criminals.July 04, 2009
I admire Benny Boom's effort; he wanted to make a movie and did it. One can only hope his next venture in Hollywood will be more original and sharp.May 08, 2009
Far from the worst of Taran tino knockoffs, Next Day Air takes the standard formula of dimwits chasing bags of drugs to the 'hood.May 13, 2009
There are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film's grim denouement.April 20, 2011
Next Day Air is well-intentioned but ill-thought, an amateur work by a first time filmmaking team trying to make the kind of film they like to watch, but ignorant of what makes those kinds of films work.May 08, 2009
He may be a first-time feature director, but music video master Benny Boom clearly knows how to pull a midlevel movie together. That's harder than it sounds.November 17, 2009
Updates the spirit of blaxploitation without feeling pressed to worship or satirize it.May 29, 2009
Next Day Air is sort of bracing, though it isn't very good: Its total lack of dramatic and comic bearings, to say nothing of a point, keeps you wondering about the next fatality, in a half-interested way.September 08, 2009
Based on modest expectations Next Day Air delivers just the entertainment package it promises -- namely, dumb laughs laced with violence -- and it kinda works.
