5 Days of War Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Opening with the oft-quoted statement "The first casualty of war is truth," 5 Days of War should have heeded its own warning.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
Harlin made a wise decision to use Checco Varese as his Director of Photography. As a veteran news cameraman, he has a wealth of experience shooting war zones which translated brilliantly to this film.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
"5 Days of War" is an action-packed and tense story of a handful of ultra-heroic war correspondents who risk their lives to tell the truth.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[Presents] its protagonist journalists as ill-defined types performing heroic daring-do and the Georgian refugees taken under their wing as a plot device.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
An action movie scarcely deeper than a Michael Bay extravaganza.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
One can imagine a powerful film being made using the brief 2008 'war' as a backdrop. Unfortunately, this isn't it.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
5 Days of war seems like an eternity if you are in the audience.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
Harlin manages to summarize the intensity of combat and the despair of conflict. Despite its many flaws, "5 Days of War" retains a visceral punch. A shame it doesn't have much of a brain.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
As propaganda, 5 Days Of War is unlikely to make a mark, though perhaps the idea of reaching people through would-be blockbusters will.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
A finely realized depiction of war today and of the civilians who suffer the not always 'collateral' consequences.
Washington Post
John DeFore
Harlin's roots show throughout the picture, as he films real-life horrors with a bombast better suited to summer entertainment.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Embarrassingly clumsy.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Should appeal more to those who like to watch stuff blow up than understand exactly why the carnage is transpiring.
Variety
John Anderson
A hell-on-earth thriller that makes valiant gestures toward geopolitical savvy but gets bushwhacked by vet helmer Renny Harlin's weakness for the Rambo-esque.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The low-budget movie, set during Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia, is neither innovative nor profound, but it is kinetic, visceral and sometimes moving.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Whether its passion is faked or real is impossible to tell because it is expressed with such pulp-fiction gusto.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Would-be serious treatment of war is lethally undermined by director Renny Harlin's ham-fisted, exploitative approach.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Had it rejected the genre's romantic trappings and false heroics more consistently, the movie might've been worth the ride.
Slant Magazine
Jaime N. Christley
If 5 Days of War is any indication, Renny Harlin is looking to hoist himself up from the bottom of the barrel using the Blood Diamond template.
