Daybreakers offers a flawed but thoroughly enjoyable, happy-making trip.

A rock-solid afternoon matinee sort of movie, packed as it is with so many disparate genre influences. Confidently crafted and legitimately clever.

While it's far from perfect, Daybreakers is an incredibly fun movie. Loaded with talents actors, beautiful camerawork (a stunning slow-mo shot in the finale proves this) and buckets of blood, I can't recommend this enough.

...an exciting (albeit slightly uneven) addition to the vampire-movie canon.
