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 is a taut and realistic thriller depicting the Iranian Embassy siege which took place in London in 1980. A lot of the action is told in real time, with the recreation of news crews on the street outside contrasted with the tense hostage drama inside to build tension and realism. Jamie Bell is he unlikely SAS hero tasked with taking down the bad guys and does pretty well, although Mark Strong gives the best turn as the mild-mannered hostage negotiator. The one wrong step is Abbie Cornish, absolutely dreadful in her attempt to be Kate Adie. The film is relatively low key and not all-out exciting, but the final scenes are as suspenseful as they come and it keeps you watching overall.
