For a hot-button issue movie with a lot of potential for character development, it's slower than Christmas and disappointingly sluggish.

Proves that even the most controversial of topics can be the basis for the dullest indie films.

If the abysmal reception so far for films about the war in Iraq is any indication, Day Zero is the last thing movie audiences will want to consume.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
As the pals, Elijah Wood, Jon Bernthal, and especially Chris Klein mope around noncommittally, as if it were an upcoming trip to the in-laws' they were dreading -- not a potentially one-way ticket to a war zone.
