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. Go to Full Review

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

Juliette J. @juliettejury Dec 16 amazing and beautiful movie, terrifying as well See more Anastasija Z Jul 14 I watched this movie in 2018 for the first time and I can say for sure it's carved in my brain, amazing, recommend it (it would be filled 5 stars but they didnt kiss :-) See more Kaz K. @noquisi Jul 3 Best movie in the whole world See more Jun 7 Zero Day wants us to swallow a laughable plot where Joe Biden (a barely coherent Robert De Niro as ex-President Mullen) and Kamala Harris (Angela Bassett as President Mitchell) somehow outwit sharper minds, despite their combined IQ barely scraping triple digits. 😂 Hollywood, stick to churning out Marvel fluff and leave the political fan fiction to X posts. See more Penny B Mar 19 Much better than people are saying. Give this a chance! See more Liz T Mar 17 Hollywood ideological capture at its finest. Robert deNiro displays his puerile sense of idiocracy with this ridiculous script. Food for the brainwashed. See more Read all reviews
