Leave your thoughts about 6 Days.
| Film Journal InternationalBudd WilkinsThis historical hostage docudrama aspires to rigorous objectivity but ultimately tips its hand as an endorsement of hardline conservatism. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... manages some tense moments and mild intrigue, yet it never allows much room for character development along the way. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is as pure a narrative-based film as one is likely to find; the men and women populating 6 Days exist primarily to move the story along. |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron Peterson6 Days takes on a storied event and presents it as a riveting tale delivered with precision and focus. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeIt's nuanced and thoughtful, alert to the individual suffering behind the headlines, cogniscent of the bigger picture. |
| Screen InternationalFionnuala HalliganThere is a payoff here, even if the film does come across like an oddly nostalgic ode to the hard-line stance of Britain's 'Iron Lady', Margaret Thatcher. |
| Stuff.co.nzSarah WattYet, despite ostensibly doing everything "right", for most of its run-time the film doesn't quite manage to deliver the thrills. |
| Cairo360Marija DjurovicEffortless and straightforward, resulting in a pleasing and most importantly, satisfying viewing experience. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperIt 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. |
| El Pais (Spain)Javier OcañaBoring and flat. [Full Review in Spanish] |
