Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanDespite strong performances, this drawn-out "Day" feels like a cross between the claustrophobic play it once was, and the R-rated "After-School Special" it wants to be.
TV Guide Magazine - 4/10 by Ken FoxNot since Larry Clark's "Kids" (1995) has the threat of HIV infection been used so gratuitously, driving a narrative that ultimately has nothing to do with the AIDS crisis.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckWhat might have proved reasonably compelling onstage comes across as forced on film, with credibility taking a back seat to contrivance.
Village Voice - 3/10 by Dennis LimNo amount of fidgety editing and anxious soundtrack atonality can distract from the creakingly implausible scenario (Marsden's Dan is an almost comic exemplar of uncharacteristic hostage behavior).
The New York Times - 3/10 by Dave KehrMr. Piccirillo's direction reflects a basic knowledge of stagecraft but no discernable sense of filmmaking. The dull television-style close-ups march relentlessly across the screen, leaving only the ghostly trails of badly transferred video images behind.
New York Post - 3/10 by Megan LehmannBoasts one of the most ludicrous plots ever committed to digital video.
User Review - 9/10 by ScottM.Critics were way off base on this one. The acting, especially Scott Speedman, was brilliant and compelling. Anybody who thinks that the revelation of one's HIV-status isn't dramatic, compelling and relevant (as some of these critics suggested) is not only wearing blinders but doesn't have a clue. However, for these critics to ignore the extremely stong performances is just ignorant. Glad to see people writing more valid reviews in the comments. Definitely worth seeing.
User Review - 5/10 by Tss5078Tom (Scott Speedman) is a married man and expected father, who has just found out that he is HIV positive. He's not a promiscuous guy, and traces it back to a one night stand, he had years back with a man. Tom's not gay, but like many, he was curious and thanks to too much alcohol, let it go too far. Seething with anger and thinking about revenge, Tom starts scouting local gay bars until he finds Dan (James Marsden). As soon as he sees him, Tom starts flirting and convinces Dan to go home with him, where Tom ties him to a chair and tells him they've met before. After obtaining a blood sample, Tom lets Dan know that when that test comes back, if Dan is positive also, he's going to die. The film is based on an award winning play and I venture to say as a play, this would have been terrific. On the big screen however, the same raw emotion isn't as evident and the story doesn't have much in the way of variety. The 24th Day is very narrowly focused, and after it's initial abduction and reveal, it becomes quite boring, as both the men and the audience prepare for the ending. In transferring this story to film, I feel as though something more should have been added to story. Maybe some flashbacks or an unintended visitor, just something to break up the monotony. Both Scott Speedman and James Marsden are very good in their respect roles and I really enjoyed both the beginning and end of this film, unfortunately the middle is somewhat boring and takes away from an otherwise original and outstanding story.
