I liked Elephant, which was about the same subject matter, but it was very ambiguous. I heard that Zero Day was very good, but the fact that Best Buy and Amazon are charging up the ass for it (25.00) (I can get it for 20 at Target) makes me unsure if it would be a good blind buy. Any suggestions?


EDIT: See last post.

Yes. i picked it up today. it's a very good film.

This was a very well done take on a Columbine-type situation. You get soup to nuts in this film. While I enjoyed Elephant, this was a much more realistic vision of the subject matter.

Where did you get yours and how much was it? Thanks!

rofl i got it at rite aid for 18$

Preordered mine from DVDEmpire for $18.

That is kind of a steep MSRP, but the film itself is excellent.
If you liked Elephant, then this one should be in your dramatic wheelhouse. It's more focused, less ambiguous.

Zero Day seemed to really strike a nerve with me, and delivers a really compelling story without being too gratutious with regard to violence. It's difficult to make a film that is supposed to sound unscripted and natural actually sound that way, but this one does, and that is key to buying into the whole concept.


Here's my full review, if you're bored....

I had previously read your review through DVD-Basen and thought it was very well done. I called my local Best Buy, Walmart, Target, FYE and Circuit City and apparently, none of them carry this, which pisses me off.

Agh! I cannot find this movie ANYWHERE! Are there ANY major B&M stores that carry this? Thanks.

My buddy plays the father in this flick and his son plays one of the leads, so I'm a little biased. I would still highly recommend this bad boy.

Which one of the leads?

Anyone else find this?

The kid who played Cal...his real name is ....Cal. Creepy.

Yeah, from what I saw, the actors used their real names. They did the same thing in Elephant.

Pssst... could your "connection" get me a free copy of this almost-impossible-to-find movie.


That's cool that you know them, though.
