Action In April 1980 armed gunmen stormed the Iranian Embassy in Princes Gate, London and took all inside hostage. Over the next six days a tense standoff took place, all the while a group of highly trained soldiers from the SAS prepared for a raid the world had never seen the likes of and which would change the world forever.

	Author	Review
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"'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."	NEU
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Technically smart but dramatically a bit flat (...) '6 Days' establishes Fraser’s credentials as a viable handler of mainstream genre fare, but comes as something of a disappointment"	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"Duller than real-life (...) A missed opportunity"	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Toa Fraser's film tellingly leaves the root causes of the militant group's malcontent entirely unexplored (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"A routine siege picture with a testosterone insecurity (...) It’s confused about whether it wants to be a ticking-bomb tale of heroics or a complex insider account."	NEG
