Wedding Day is a 2012 crime thriller starring C. Thomas Howell, David Koechner, and Stephanie Drapeau. The movie explores themes of revenge, violence, and redemption in a dark and intense narrative that unfolds over the course of a single day. The story centers around several intersecting characters who find themselves caught up in a deadly game of revenge and counter-revenge. At the heart of the conflict is Jack (played by Howell), a former criminal who has served his time and is trying to turn his life around. Jack is getting married to his fiancé Vicky (played by Drapeau) on the same day that his former partner in crime, Johnny (played by Koechner), is released from prison.

Johnny is looking for revenge against Jack for betraying him years earlier, and he enlists a crew of violent thugs to help him carry out his plan. Meanwhile, Jack is also being targeted by another group of criminals who are angry that he has seemingly turned his back on the criminal world. As the day progresses, the tension builds and the violence escalates, culminating in a brutal and bloody confrontation that will leave no one unscathed.

One of the strengths of Wedding Day is its ensemble cast, which features several strong and memorable performances. C. Thomas Howell delivers a nuanced and understated performance as Jack, playing the character with a quiet sense of vulnerability and regret. David Koechner is equally impressive as Johnny, bringing a sense of danger and unpredictability to the role. Stephanie Drapeau is also noteworthy as Vicky, providing a strong and supportive presence in the midst of the chaos.

The movie is also notable for its stylish and intense direction, which imbues every scene with a sense of urgency and tension. Director Dale Fabrigar keeps the pace brisk and the action relentless, using a combination of handheld camerawork and tight close-ups to create a sense of claustrophobia and unease. The movie is also underscored by a pulsing electronic score that adds to the sense of momentum and danger.

While Wedding Day is undeniably dark and violent, it is also a thought-provoking exploration of themes such as loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. The characters are all flawed and complicated, and the movie raises questions about the nature of justice and revenge. As much as it is a thrilling crime thriller, it is also a meditation on the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions.

Overall, Wedding Day is a gripping and intense crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a movie that explores complex themes through strong performances and stylish direction, and it is not afraid to confront the darker sides of human nature. If you are a fan of crime movies or intense thrillers, this is a movie that should definitely be on your radar.
