6 Days Ratings & Reviews
Newshub (NZ)
Kate Rodger
If not entirely compelling, 6 Days gives us a little to chew on from several different perspectives of these well-known events.
The Hollywood Outsider
Aaron Peterson
6 Days takes on a storied event and presents it as a riveting tale delivered with precision and focus.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Reenactment of 1980 embassy takeover has blood, violence.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... manages some tense moments and mild intrigue, yet it never allows much room for character development along the way.
Film Inquiry
Lee Jutton
6 Days is a mostly well-made film based on true events, but its similarity to our current political climate makes it an uncomfortable watch.
Under the Radar
Zach Hollwedel
The most interesting element of 6 Days is the historical near-week it's based on.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
6 Days works not only as a portal into what happened 37 years ago but as an understanding of the difficulties of handling hostage situations and why it's easy for things to go very wrong.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
With a barrage of title-card identifications, "6 Days" can feel closer to a re-enactment than a thriller. To the extent that the movie has a political angle, it's perhaps gratuitously jingoistic.
Film Journal International
Budd Wilkins
This historical hostage docudrama aspires to rigorous objectivity but ultimately tips its hand as an endorsement of hardline conservatism.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Shot and styled in contemporary, ticking-clock action fashion, it compresses the complex Theatcher-era politics of its fractious standoff into a simplified West-versus-Middle-East conflict that registers as broadly topical.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
A stiffly executed re-creation of the events surrounding the 1980 hostage-taking attack on London's Iranian Embassy that packs all the high-stakes intrigue of a filed police report.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Fraser keeps the picture taut and introspective, finding ways to encourage suspense and maintain personal perspectives in the midst of panic.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's nuanced and thoughtful, alert to the individual suffering behind the headlines, cogniscent of the bigger picture.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Tom Augustine
It is an 'it-takes-a-village' approach that regrettably strands a talented multi-national cast in stock-standard characters begging for a little more thread to work with.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
The core ingredients are all there for an absorbing rehashing of events, but as unveiled, it comes off all too often like a routine siege picture with a testosterone insecurity.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
6 Days boils down the intricate relationship between Iran and the West into a tense standoff of conflicting ideals where the values and perspectives of only one side really matter.
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
It is hard to find much here that is new and creative. If one discounts the violence in 6 DAYS, this film is a lot like DOG DAY AFTERNOON or INSIDE MAN.
