80The delight of this awesome thriller is simply that Schwarzenegger--an old hand at this sort of running-around-shooting-henchmen thing--could easily sleepwalk through the movie...but he doesn't.
-
75A well-crafted entertainment containing enough ideas to qualify it as science fiction and not just as a futurist thriller.
-
75This movie knows how to entertain.
-
75Puts the fun back into going to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. He said he'd be back, and he is.
-
75Under the tight wraps provided by a veteran director and a generally clever script, he (Arnold) has, in The 6th Day, his best picture in many years.
-
75Spottiswoode and Schwarzenegger deliver a clever and colorful conspiratorial thriller with high-energy action scenes, car crashes a go-go, spectacular technology and big explosions, packaged with ferocious glee and spoofing humor. Who could ask for more from Ah-nold?
-
70A clever but routine science fiction flick.
-
70Well worth the price of admission.
-
70A fun ride. It's loud and obvious, but it's also the first high-tech, sci-fi thriller to think through some of the implications of cloning and capitalism.
-
67A bit of a clone itself, but it's got a crackerjack helicopter chase, a semblance of a script, and a sotto voce performance by Robert Duvall as a biotech genius who murmurs sweet nothings to his dying cloned wife.
-
Once Schwarzenegger got attached, the short-sighted, commercially minded forces took over; the man is desperate for a hit, so the movie dare not overestimate the audience's intelligence or tolerance for uneasily resolved dilemmas.
-
63This otherwise undistinguished thriller about cloning is the most entertaining movie from the aging action star for some time.
-
Closely follows the Schwarzenegger formula, right down to the fiery, explosive-rife finale. If you like the formula, you'll probably enjoy the movie.
-
63Offers high-speed helicopter chases, fireballing explosions, deadly laser guns, futuristic technology gone amok, multiple car crashes, two Arnold Schwarzeneggers for the price of one - almost everything except a plot that makes sense.
-
60The movie isn't "Blade Runner," but it's got some provocative ideas about the implications of cloning in a market-driven, capitalist society.
-
60A mostly standard-issue latter-day Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner spiked with a creepily plausible cloning angle.
-
50The 6th Day gets a lot of mileage out of Schwarzenegger, who once seemed incapable of playing anything other than a cartoon but is becoming more and more of a "real" person with age.
-
50Like Schwarzenegger himself, it looks tired, and a little bored.
-
50There's no doubt that the formula for this kind of action film is showing its age.
-
50Modestly better than last year's awful "End of Days," though it falls well short of Arnold's "Terminator" peak period.
-
50Edited like the world's most expensive car ad. The screen opens and closes like a nervous accordion, and the action shifts speeds like crazy.
-
50Plays like something picked up at a vintage store; you can see all the greasy fingerprints from those who have handled it before.
-
50This movie is a clone itself, a far cry from "Total Recall" but vastly superior to "End of Days."
-
40Offers action in the Arnold Schwarzenegger style. Well, not right away.
-
40From its standard-issue action to its halfhearted dialogue and acting, that's one situation even two Schwarzeneggers aren't enough to solve.
-
30It's mediocrity at its most unremarkable.
-
30Achieves a level of hypocrisy astounding less for its brazenness than for its sheer stupidity.
-
30Offers director Roger Spottiswoode a chance to have the worst actor in Beverly Hills play scenes with himself.
-
Neither smart nor exciting enough to justify the effort.
-
10Another droning formulaic thriller.
