Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
What might have proved reasonably compelling onstage comes across as forced on film, with credibility taking a back seat to contrivance.
Scott Speedman and James Marsden, two talented and attractive actors who know how to hold attention, perform with depth and range.
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.
