Is six days a good movie? Viewers have their say on the thriller with Sami Buajila and Julie Gayet

Topping the six days is Montage, a Korean thriller produced in 2013 but not yet released in France. Directed by Juan Carlos Medina (Insensibles), the remake, which hits theaters on January 1st, maintains its original premise, namely an investigator’s race against time to catch the kidnapper before the case’s statute of limitations inevitably expires. , which dates back ten years.

Sami Bouajila and Julie Gayet star in this thriller set in northern France, for which the director called on the former BRI boss to make sure everything in the film is true. But what did viewers think of the result?

With an average of 3.4* from 58 ratings, Six Days is his directorial best film, ahead of Insensibles and GOLEM (both 3.1). As for Sami Bouajila, we have to go back to 2022 and Les Miens by Roschdy Zem (3.5) to find a better rated feature film. And in 2023, the telefilm The Story of Annette Zelman (3.8) will be broadcast in the case of Julie Gaye.

What do viewers think of “Six Days”?

“A very good thriller with a charming atmosphere and an interesting thriller”excited Charlene R. (5 out of 5) “Very well played, special mention to Sami Bouajilla who is really great.”

And he’s not the only one praising the actor’s performance, “always special” according to Anna Pico (same note), “Especially convincing in his role” for that Marine Alexander (the same).

“The script, the actors and the director captivated me for 1 hour 35 minutes, I didn’t see the time pass!”she adds. “Like a good thriller, the pieces of the puzzle come together slowly, and I don’t think the results are visible until all the pieces fit together.”

“A very good thriller with a charming atmosphere and an interesting thriller”

“If the trailer suggested that most of the film was already released, it wasn’t”In turn, it calms down Billon Alexander (5 out of 5). “On the contrary, a feature film is full of unexpected twists and turns that keep the audience in constant tension.

with a dark and cautious aesthetic reminiscent of seven. Its stunning production and ingenious script suggest that it is still possible to surprise in an often ticked-off register. “

“Adapted from a Korean thriller, These Six Days fits well into the ‘Scandinavian’ category”confirms Bart Sampson (4 out of 5). “It’s sticky and radical at times, and above all, the pieces of the puzzle come together at the end, which shows the care taken with the script. Julie Gaye is very comfortable and very believable as a mother devastated by the death of her young daughter and ready to do anything to avenge her.”

“The suspense is real from one end of the film to the other, in particular two ‘doors locked’ sequences that had me glued to my seat like never before.”presses Jessica Tatin (same note), while ccbaxterDespite the 4.5 out of 5, regrets the slightly faster result.

“A good thriller, well-directed and well-acted even if it reinvents the genre, a small film that still deserves a quick viewing.”recommends Zamus (3.5 out of 5).

“A frustrating thriller that feels more like a weekend TV movie than a motion picture”

Laurent A. (2 out of 5) A little less: “A disappointing thriller that looks more like a weekend TV movie than a motion picture, I’m not into this unrealistic story and it’s far less believable in both its script and its interpretation.”

The idea in which we find Guig Paul (1.5 out of 5): “A TV thriller with a poorly written script that combines clichés to the point where it becomes laughable at times.”

“It’s hard to get interested in the human dramas at the heart of the story when the script reproduces cardboard characters and inconsistencies and the director doesn’t make up for the writing’s shortcomings with inspired staging and direction.” “Reliable actors”.

which, on Benoit C. (same note), translates as follows: “The film is poorly shot, we don’t hear anything, it goes in all directions. The impression is that the film is still being edited…”

in short

Surprising to some, disappointing to others, the six days are up for debate. If the three Buajillas are unanimous, internet users are more divided on the direction and story, and even the ambitions of the film as a whole.

and you What did you think of the six days?
