Summary: Murder with consequences
Comment: "Five Days"
This joint production of the BBC and HBO is a taut, yet elegant murder mystery that will keep you guessing right up until the end. When a young mother of three vanishes by the side of a British highway, leaving her children stranded in their car, a family is thrown in upheaval, as is the local police department, which finds the high-profile disappearance to be a difficult case to crack. Fans of BBC shows such as "Prime Suspect" will find themselves in familiar territory here, in a miniseries packed with strong performances by unfamiliar, immensely talented actors, aided by a strong, intelligent script and handsome cinematography. This show's particular strength is in its fine-grained, thoughtful exploration of the forceful, torturous emotional reverberations that murders can have on loved ones. The real psychological costs of homicide, which mainstream media often ignores or presents in trivialized or stick-figure form, are here presented at length, and revisited in episode after episode, much as they might revisit the victims of crime in real life. There's a lot more emotional substance here than you might be used to seeing, and plenty of fine character work as well. You'll be drawn in and well rewarded for your time. It's a bit depressing, but definitely worth watching. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)
Customer Rating:
Summary: five day
Comment: I really liked this movie. You think you know what happened and then it all changes and you try to figure out what the motives are for some of the people and get a feel for their personalities. I would recommend this movie
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Slow-moving and contrived
Comment: While it's not the worst miniseries ever made, 5 Days is quit pretentious in its slow-moving shots that apparently are made to have us see this as some kind of "oeuvre" by the director. It's not. As a psychological portrayal, it's not up to snuff, and it takes so long for anything to happen that you will wonder why you're bothering to watch it all. The final episode came close to being interesting, but it was a long haul to get there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This started a trend for me.
Comment: Film is one of my passions. Because of that, the inevitable snobbery comes into play. Now I watch every Brit program that I can find. Their stories appear simple at the outset, then intrigue, complications, and whip-smart dialogue take over. This series nails it.
You can glean the story line from the other reviews, I'd just like to say I watched the whole thing in one sitting. It is that good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrific mini-series
Comment: The other reviewers did an excellent job of summarizing Five Days, so I won't do that again. I will just say how much I enjoyed the show and how excellent the acting was. My daughter and her fiance also thoroughly enjoyed this show and was glad I purchased it. I highly recommend watching it.
