Andre (Andre Keuck) and Cal (Cal Robertson) are a pair of military-loving misfits from small-town America. They harbor a hatred of their high school so caustic that they come up with a plan of attack called "Zero Day." As the days count down, they record their preparations in video diaries, hoping to achieve fame after their demise. When Zero Day arrives, Andre and Cal drive to school with a trunk of munitions and take aim. The film is based on the Columbine High School massacre.

Mr. Coccio's conclusions -- or lack thereof -- may seem a little pat at times, but as a pseudo-case study of adolescent ego and aimless nihilism channeled into a fit of violence, it's like a bucket of ice water in the face.

While Elephant was a success stylistically, Ben Coccio's Zero Day is more haunting and hits home harder.

It's a pointless storyline trying to be cleverer than it is.

Too many characters, too many things going on at once, jumps from one thing to the next, not good entertainment, not worth six hours of my time.

Just plain boring, it never made me care. DeNiro is just an elderly frail shadow of himself, he didn't seem inspiring, he seemed like a sad angry old man pontificating.

I though the movie was entertaining, intelligent, and well directed. I would definitely recommend it.

I had high hopes for this movie. But it ended up being boring and slow. Really poor casting and storyline.
