An appealingly low-key performance from Schwarzenegger anchors this above-average action picture.

Reviews for The 6th Day
You voted for George W. Bush, Arnold's candidate of choice. This is your punishment.

[Arnold's] attempts at endearing, expressive acting are, if not quite dead, like something translated from Esperanto into Old English by a German computer.
01/01/00
A decent action romp.

Top CriticHas unexciting characters overall, and it relies on routine car chases and shootouts that would be even sillier without the booming soundtrack and special effects.
01/01/00
Top CriticA rehashed formula action/sci-fi film about the near future.
01/01/00
There's no doubt that the formula for this kind of action film is showing its age.
01/01/00
There are enough wild car chases, cool explosions and funny moments to keep your attention, and some of the stunts will make you flinch.
01/01/00
It's tough not to think that, despite the cutting edge subject matter, it's Arnold himself that's a little out of date.
01/01/00
Beneath its sci-fi trappings, the film addresses mortality and is far more thought provoking than one might expect.
01/01/00
This movie plays like something picked up at a vintage store; you can see all the greasy fingerprints from those who have handled it before.
01/01/00
Top CriticAn exciting high-tech action film that's even a little clever, in its big, blowing-things-up kind of way.
01/01/00
The filmmakers are too willing to do whatever they think will push the audience's button.
01/01/00
Top CriticAs an action movie, this has a lot to be desired.
01/01/00
Both good and bad news. Good: It's a solid action movie. Bad: It feels like it could have been made five or 10 years ago. It feels stale.
01/01/00
It has a stale, familiar ring, as though it had itself been cloned from innumerable earlier pictures.
01/01/00
A savage critique of a corporation that sets out to market "the business of life."
01/01/00
If replicating the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger was truly a pressing possibility, we'd get superior knockoffs of better days than this.
