Some parts were marvelous, but I completely disliked the NSA character and the way it was presented.
This documentary felt pretty weak. Leaving aside the fact that I still haven't found a source for complete subtitles that cover foreign-language dialogue, I have serious issues with how it was assembled. Having people talk on the record but obscuring their identities is fine, but I draw the line at creating a composite character based on several different people. It's a documentary, not fiction.
As others have mentioned (in particular, @rants), the balance is skewed. The whole thing is one-sided, with no coverage of the Iranian side at all.
It was well made, but the content was more by conspiracy theorists than anyone serious. Nobody involved in this kind of thing talks about it - that's how come they get involved. And having someone speak "on the record" and then putting synthesised / fake actor is pretty much the documentary makers just saying "trust us, we wouldn't make things up to appear interesting". Which is exactly what a lot of this kind of documentary makers do.
On the bright side, it did explain some complex stuff quite well, so that was good.
I am just in awe by the fact that what can be achieved by technology...
I got about 25 minutes in and, though I was enjoying myself, had to stop. As yet I have not found any source for this documentary that includes subtitles for the non-English portions of the audio. There are several interviews and archival clips with dialogue in foreign languages, and I feel it would be unfair to myself and to the film to watch it without understanding these parts.
So, for now, I'll keep this on my watchlist knowing that as soon as I find complete subtitles, I will finish it.
Other than the fact that I don't necessarily agree with every conclusion drawn in this documentary, AND that the guys that cut this one together made some very weird choices, Zero Days are a decent watch that surprisingly managed to keep me interested for two hours.
Absolutely top notch summation of the incident. Adds missing pieces to the puzzle omitted by the main stream media. 9/10

Israel got caught launching an illegal cyber attack on another country and this was made as a 'We had to do it' piece.
The documentary is told from the Israeli perspective. The Iran nuclear question should be asked at the same volume of the Israeli Nuclear question. Iran is a signatory to the IEA and NNPT, Israel is not. Israel has not disclosed its stockpile, Iran has no stockpile.
Concerns are warranted, but this documentary is subjective with no balance.
It slowly spirals toward light propaganda.
