  8 / 10

  A Perfect Day is a blend of eyebrow creasing tension and oil-black comedy. As Hitchock famously said 'There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.' This film is a fantastic homage to that as there is never really a bang. You wait and you wait for one of the mines that cast a net of death over the Balkans to cause a splatter of gore. But you just keep waiting.
  
  That being said, the film is equally funny, especially in Tim Robbin's B, an eccentric aid-worker veteran. A Perfect Day is a stinging satire that is tense and hilarious. Sure, some story beats don't quite pay off but the film has an irresistible, almost Western, bleakness that is a pleasure to watch.
