Critics' reviews

"Following the show will require some effort for viewers accustomed to less demanding fare."

Nancy deWolf Smith: The Wall Street Journal
"Diggs is a very good actor. Attempting to pull off a complicated scenario like this would be tough for a vet, let alone someone who made his bones in musical theater."

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"The action is swift, the acting is taut and the premise is cool."

Doug Elfman: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Day Break' doesn't quite work, not only because of its redundancies but because its story line becomes simultaneously convoluted and pointless."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"A solidly constructed and fast-paced drama."

Maureen Ryan: Chicago Tribune
"It's a one-of-a-kind thriller that rewards your attention with nonstop action, endless surprises, exciting cinematography and a great assortment of characters."

Barry Garron: The Hollywood Reporter
"You begin to feel strung along on an errand whose complexities can't mask the fact that the main character isn't great company."

Paul Brownfield: Los Angeles Times
"Intense and fascinating."

Glenn Garvin: Miami Herald
