Black Day Blue Night is a 1995 American crime thriller film directed by J. S. Cardone and starring Gil Bellows, Michelle Forbes, Mia Sara, J. T. Walsh, Tim Guinee, and John Beck.
[1] Greg Evans of Variety liked the film and wrote "despite some surprises, final reel wrap-up unspools awkwardly, lurching from one twist to another after the main McGuffin has been revealed.
However, some plot twists feel predictable, the dialogue can drag in places, and the ending, while true to the noir genre, lacks emotional impact.
He finalized his review writing that it is "packed with weird, erotic altercations, brutal encounters and some disturbingly smarmy acts, Black Day Blue Night is a generally satisfying foray into sensual melodramatics.
Forbes avoids the usual "tough chick" cliches as the embittered waitress, and Bellows) has an appealing laid-back charisma that fits his slippery character well.
Cardone takes a few sudden turns in the second half, but even though the movie doesn't end quite the way you'd expect, the greatest appeal of Black Day Blue Night is in the precise way it executes its formula.
