Micitype Pretty Good
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
reinoutmensing-84435 Shitty movie, shitty end. fuck this movie. I recommend not watching this movie cause it ruined 2 hours of my life. tips for good movies :vaiana, why him, godfatherbut not this piece of shit movie.
omendata Who Dares Wins Was A Far Better Movie and that isnt saying much.Abbie Cornish simply cannot act. Poor , tedious , long drawn out boring remake of an old movie once again.I kinda thought this might be just another rehash with nothing new to tell us - so why make these films?
subhashish_mishra2 Lack of execution. Could have been so much better if The reporter played by someone else and not Abbie Cornish, she successfully did a pathetic job (would be an understatement) with absolutely no acting skills whatsoever. while you wait for a dramatic scene you get to hear her reporting which totally spoils the mood to watch further.
lavatch "6 Days" has the feel of a docudrama as it recounts the tense hostage situation at the Iranian embassy in London that lasted from April 30 to May 5 in 1980.The film depicts as "unprecedented" the Special Air Service assault team's rescue of twenty-four hostages by storming the embassy. The attack was authorized by prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who stated that she did not wish for Great Britain to become a "soft target" for acts of terrorism.Of course, Great Britain today has become one of the softest targets on the planet when it comes to acts of terrorism committed on British soil. It is not clear what was the purpose of the filmmakers in recreating the hostage standoff at Princes Gate, South Kensington, by a group of Arabistan thugs. Led by a vacillating terrorist named Salim, the group apparently wanted to make a statement about the oppressive Iranian theocracy's treatment of political prisoners from the Arabistan region. But the terrorists' demand to swap hostages for political prisoners failed miserably, just like all the objectives of heinous acts of terror in the modern age.The film lacked depth, as its main purpose was to elicit a "feel good" experience with the success of the assault team, the calm demeanor of the telephone negotiator Max Vernon, and the smooth (though monotonous) reporting of broadcaster Kate Adie. The film was successful in portraying the embassy siege and incorporating documentary footage of the event. The heroic members of the Special Ar Service performed what is called in the film a "miracle" in rescuing twenty-four of the twenty-six hostages.But the film never went beyond a tribute to the heroes. The closing historical note appears on the screen indicating that the sole surviving terrorist named Fowzi Nejad received only a light prison sentence for a terrorist act that left two people dead. And he received parole in the year 2008. That fact is worthy of reflection in light of commonplace occurrences of terror thirty-five years later.
