Just perfect...

Instant Favorite.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Blistering performances.

If this is a true story, the mission was horrible the acting was par at best and the overacting by the media was as expected. Waste of reel time.

The 1980 London terror attack. Those days are just the beginning of this new terrorism culture of middle-east. By the way, why should the world care about if one terror seeking just from another. That's the platform of this film. All about middle-east shit, dragged into the west.Based on the real. The film was slow, though a decent film. Obviously predictable, but worth a watch. When the iranese embassy was taken hostage by a terror group with demands placed the England government to fulfil, how they have tackled the situation was told from multiple people's angle who were involved in it.One thing it's missing was the some aspect of the tale from the hostages. I don't know why they did emotionalised this tale. Especially from the negative side. The actors were nice, the production too. Other than that it was not a most expected film of the year. Maybe not many have heard of it. Except it's more like a television film, I think once watchable.6/10

"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.

I was somehow shocked when I saw the ratings this movie got. Sure, this movie will not win big awards, or anything like that. But I actually truly enjoyed this picture, as an interesting movie about a historical fact that I didn't really know about due to my young age.The movie doesn't lose time on futile details. It's an honest depiction of what happened over those six days. It starts immediately with the hostage. The movie feels genuine, and not meant as a brutal action movie. Keeping details true to the facts is of course a good thing. But somewhere on the line, they forgot about character development. There were some key characters, but without being really key characters. You could feel they were somehow important to the story, but you never really got a back story on them. The best example is the woman of the BBC. I didn't grew up in the UK, so I never heard of her. After the movie ended, they explained who she was. I think they could have done a lot more with the characters. You just didn't feel an attachment to any of the characters. Same with the terrorists and the negotiator.To be fair, it's not easy to do all this in just 1 hour and half. I genuine feel this movie needed some more screen time. If you enjoy movies based on true stories or historical events, you won't be disappointed.
