Paul Schrader is one of the most bold and daring writers in film history, and Light Of Day was probably just a chance to get to make a movie and who could blame him for wanting that? He did the best he could with it. The biggest flaw is the decision to go with MICHAEL J. FOX and JOAN JETT as the leads, neither of them have the weight to make it believable.
FOX acting like a tough guy is just laughable and there's too much focus on the actual music they play which really just sucks.
Not SCHRADERS best work, but an admirable effort considering.
The film probably would of worked well with a more edgy and darker story and maybe with someone like SEAN PENN in the lead role and an actual actress in the lead.
If SCHRADER was able to put his full signature on this film it could of been great
