6 Days Reviews
Good film, well acted and well paced. Gives background information to a story that many of us thought we were familiar with.
I really enjoyed it- edge of your seat stuff made all the better knowing it is real Great acting on the part of Max and all the SAS crew
Although it is not your typical action movie it is as real and dirty as can be. The raw story of what it truly takes to be the first and original counter-terrorist organization as it truly occured was beautifully done. The SAS and their actions during the Iranian Embassy Crisis saved lives. It isn't meant to be a shoot-em-up action thriller but it does an amazing job of being closer to a reenactment of real life events.
An enjoyable movie. Strong characters and an interesting insight into Britain under Margaret Thatcher. The style of the cinematography and the script takes you back to the early 80s and the way the governments had to develop their and adapt their responses to a range of international threats, such as hijackings, bombings and hostage situations.
That movie could have been so much more.
This is historically accurate and not to mention one of SAS operators is literally the real life Captain Price and also not to mention the SAS literally prepared for five days until they went in on the 6th day of the siege
This is probably the least amount of actions in a terrorist movie ever with so many things goes wrong even days of SAS counter terrorist rehearsal.

.ProductionnoitcudorPA missed chance to create something special about an exciting and memorable piece of history. Shockingly poor acting, awful
A very taut, intense historical drama about a beginning of the modern age of terrorism. The lens of the story is zoomed into nearly every aspect of this story - so there's not much reference to anything outside of this very tight scope or much extra character development. That being said Jamie Bell, Mark Strong, and Ben Turner are all excellent and give nuanced performances. Jamie Bell, especially, as the special forces officer, is like a compressed spring constantly on that verge. Abbie Cornish plays the amazing Kate Adie but is so stiff so as to hardly do her justice. This was before my time and I wasn't familiar with the incident so found it, perhaps, especially interesting. Particularly the decrees sent down by a newly minted Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Her instructions seemed preoccupied with image over safety which is certainly concerning as this incident set a bar for how states deal with hostage situations.
Really well made film. Thoughtful, suspenseful and very realistic. Definitely worth watching if you are interested in the truth and real world events
Amazing, authentic recreation of the event. It paints a clear picture of what it was like for the terrorists, the SAS and the Negotiators and Government. It is of course not entirely realistic, and there is an interview of an actual SAS member who bashes the film, and while I am sure he is correct about many things, this is a good movie. It is as close as we, as the audience of a film that is ultimately meant to be fun to watch, can get to the events depicted. An absolute must see for any history or military enthusiast.
If it wasn't based on real events, you could see basically the same movie done better in many varieties. I liked Zero Dark thirty better.
6 days is a decent little thriller. The performances are good and the movie builds up enough attention to keep the viewer entertained. Unfortunately like most of these hostage thrillers this one doesn’t offer much new and falls with a predictable ending. Granted it’s based on a true story but there’s not really much here that you have an already seen before many times. A good little rental if you enjoy hostage thrillers.

Ignore most of the audience on this one. '6 Days' is an effectively grounded and understated hostage thriller that captures the era very well. Good pacing and a trim runtime prevent proceedings from becoming dull at any point. Good acting, as well. Because the film is so grounded, it felt very intense. 4/5*
I actually loved the fact that the movie felt like it kept as close to source material as possible with little dramatisation. The fact that it felt real made it so much more intense for me. My only sadness is the portrayal of the terrorist leader Salim, perhaps the source material provided very little abt him for the movie to use, but he seemed way too pliable and naive for a man in that position, having gotten there in the first place.
The film effectively recounts the events of its true story in a tense and entertaining thriller.
Very smart movie. It gave a realistic view of the âhurry up and waitâ? ebb and flow of tactical situations. End was dynamic without being gratuitous.
