This is more of a thriller than an action movie and I really liked that. I am actually glad this isn't the typical US hero movie but instead focuses more on what really went on because a lot of hostage situation is waiting for things to happen. You can call this boring or realistic depending on what your preference is. But I'm certain an americanised movie version would have ruined it. Even the raid itself wasn't overdone it actually looked more realistic that way.

They should've called this **Waiting** 6 Days, because that's all that happens in this film. Rewatch Argo instead...

Different approach to a hostage situation story, focuses more on what is going on behind closed doors than actual action. It is slow-pacing movie but I think that this suit this narrative. Also it shows how much has changed past (almost) 40 years in this type of crisis.

Go into this expecting an action movie and you will be disappointed. Instead, you get a dramatic reenactment of the event that gripped the world in 1980. Despite the stilted dialogue, this is a mostly fascinating look at the events from a variety of viewpoints, including the terrorists.
