“6 Days” is a taut thriller that effectively captures the tension and drama of the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. While the movie’s minimalist approach and adherence to historical facts have been praised for creating a gripping narrative, some critics have found the film somewhat lacking in depth and character development. Nonetheless, standout performances, particularly by Jamie Bell and Mark Strong, alongside the detailed re-creation of the siege, provide a compelling watch. The film’s portrayal of the SAS’s tactics and the negotiator’s efforts offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges of crisis resolution.
