Zero Day: X review

Several social media users called the film “badly written and structured”, while others called it a “nonsensical conspiracy plot”. One user on X (formerly Twitter) expressed, “More a conspiracy thriller than a political one, Zero Day is good enough to keep watching. A bit too convoluted, with too many chess pieces that it ends up not as thrilling and interesting as it could have been with a tighter narrative.”

One more user shared, “ZERO DAY was a badly written, badly structured political thriller. Disjointed and rushed. It tried too hard to emulate The Manchurian Candidate. The cast ensemble was like walking caricatures. On the nose, preachy and patronizing… #ZeroDay kept shooting itself in the foot.”

Another wrote, “Done with the first 3 episodes. Packed with big names only – all around the place. The whole thing is more on the slow burn side, but that’s not a problem. The story isn’t anything mind-blowing new, but a good crime-political thriller is always a good thing.”
