The movie is never more than a hesitantly filmed recording of the play. Go to Full Review Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News 06/17/2004

At times The 24th Day plays like a two-man actor's workshop. As navigated by talented actors and director, it nonetheless proves a riveting ride. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 06/02/2004
What might have proved reasonably compelling onstage comes across as forced on film, with credibility taking a back seat to contrivance. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/24/2020

This unexpected gem is a reminder of what great little gems can be created on a small budget. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 09/27/2004

The battle of wits and the search for the truth goes along right up until the film's unpredictable ending. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 08/08/2004
The ceaseless twists and turns Piccirillo keeps introducing are at first intriguing, but eventually become tiresome, as if he's trying to hold our interest any way he can. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/15/2017 Interesting set up but once it gets past explaining the motive then it becomes dull. Too much talking and just sitting around. Should've included a problem of an uninvited guest to bring more action to the plot. And the editing is pretty awful. Jump cuts galore. But solid acting- probably the only thing that kept this movie afloat See more 10/22/2015 Good acting, decent dialogue, just doesn’t know how to fill up all of it’s running time. Mostly just boring filler See more 06/30/2015 The acting is good and the story is good. Not a bad film but definitely could've been much better. See more 11/20/2013 i wouldn't call this "horror" but rather a well crafted drama See more 10/13/2013 Good movie......if only its score wasn't so "soap opera-y." See more 06/20/2013 slow and dull until you get to the twist that makes it a little bit better. See more Read all reviews
