    Despite strong performances, this drawn-out "Day" feels like a cross between the claustrophobic play it once was, and the R-rated "After-School Special" it wants to be.

    What might have proved reasonably compelling onstage comes across as forced on film, with credibility taking a back seat to contrivance.

    No amount of fidgety editing and anxious soundtrack atonality can distract from the creakingly implausible scenario (Marsden's Dan is an almost comic exemplar of uncharacteristic hostage behavior).

    Critics were way off base on this one. The acting, especially Scott Speedman, was brilliant and compelling. Anybody who thinks that the revelation of one's HIV-status isn't dramatic, compelling and relevant (as some of these critics suggested) is not only wearing blinders but doesn't have a clue. However, for these critics to ignore the extremely stong performances is just ignorant. Glad to see people writing more valid reviews in the comments. Definitely worth seeing.… Expand
