The New York Times by 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.

Slant Magazine by 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.

75

ReelViews by James Berardinelli

This 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.

TheWrap by Robert Abele

It’s confused about whether it wants to be a ticking-bomb tale of heroics or a complex insider account.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

In that climate, the desultory 6 Days can be appreciated for at least having the guts to show us what can go wrong.
