Very good. typical Morris script and shows what the FBI and other organisations are doing with tax payers money.
Chris Morris is one of the best comedians ever. Brass Eye remains my favourite comedy ever. I literally co-hosted an on-stage Q&A with the director of Brass Eye last weekend. I've made short films in the style of Chris Morris's TV work. What I am saying is: I quite like Chris Morris.
Therefore I find myself a little puzzled by The Day Shall Come. Similar to Four Lions, this is a lightly funny film with some scorching satirical undertones. However both don't have the belly laughs or squirming uncomfortableness that Morris provides at his best. The Day Shall Come is still pushing boundaries and comedically presenting truths, this time in the context of the FBI, but it feels lighter. You…
It ought to come as no surprise that, of all his '90s anti-establishment comic contemporaries, Chris Morris has lost none of his bite or his caustic eye for what the powers that be claim to be doing in our name. Unlike his former collaborators who have become the twitterati, firing missives that may criticise the government but ultimately respect the neocon status quo and wish for it to persist, he is still deeply anti-establishment.
Morris knows that the best way to tackle the absurdity of life and get audiences to consider the injustice of the many true-life stories this film is based is to do it through comedy. Like the very best satire, there's a thread of pathos that runs…
I officially denounce 7th grade Brendan for his award-winning essay ($50 check from the Branchburg Rotary Club) on how he wanted to become an FBI agent
* Chris Morris directed one of the best satires on fundamentalist terrorism I have ever seen in Four Lions (2010). This time he satirizes the government response to terrorism and makes a movie as good as that. It's brilliant and provides non stop laughter.
* Anna Kendrick is in it. Always a plus in my book.
* It has a jaw-dropping ending for me. The abusrdity of it all is really shocking. But it is also satisfying to my simple belief that "everything is fucked up". 😂
Very creative and with a smart and witty plot. This satire on the legal system can be extremely fun and amusing.
Unfortunately, it can feel bland at times, mostly due to the cinematography. It tries to achieve this naturalistic, at times documentay-like style but it feels unimaginative most of the times.
Marchánt Davis was the highlight of the film. His outrageous look and his well-intentioned will propelled this film to greater heights, or not so great heights because the other elements of the film don't work very well.
I really wanted to love this, it's about one of my favourite things. The FBI doing heinous things in the view of protecting the nation when in fact they are causing more damage. It just didn't quite come together in a completely cohesive way. Love Chris Morris and Kayvan Novak though.

The Day Shall Come has strong, poignant relevancy, considering the state of racial and political tension found in the US, however, the result is a disappointing venture that feels not only somewhat exploitative but incredibly inconsequential and flat.
