7 Days (2010)

This movie is probably one the better movies in it's genre. It has groundbreaking images and scenes that were once considered taboo in mainstream cinema. It's not for the faint of heart, so I advise "Bambi" lovers, who might be considering to watch this, to move on to the next movie they had in mind. The silent scenes and the build up to the climax are just terrific and have a classic Hitchcock feel to them. The acting is superb and realistic and the director makes excellent use of the images with the actors depiction of grief and rage, which I must admit, is very convincing. The controversial topic of the movie helps to lock the viewer to the seat from the get-go. From then on, it's pure mastery and you can't get your eyes of the screen, even when the images are graphic and truly disturbing. This movie is a milestone and a cinematic piece of art. You cannot stay indifferent to it. It will be remembered as "Psycho" was remembered. Each time you send your child outside by herself the memory of this movie will kick in. When someone, down the road, will ask you "Did you see 7 days?" - you won't be able to say "I don't remember" or "Maybe" if you saw it. Images of this movie will stay ingrained in your mind forever. The director of this movie if very promising and I predict there will be additional masterpieces down the road.

Fmovies: Revenge is sweet in 7 Days, a Canadian torture thriller in French when a surgeon's daughter is abducted, raped and killed by a low life criminal named Anthony. The good doctor, Bruno, captures the "suspect" and takes him to an isolated cabin in the woods: and let the games begin for seven days of extreme and inventive pay back.

Bruno calls the police that at the end of one week, he is going kill Anthony after inflicting as much pain as possible, however, the psychopath adapts to his situation and mocks his host for not seeming to enjoy the suffering of his hostage. Tony admits to the murder of the doctors girl, in addition to three others.

Meanwhile, a detective furiously searches for the cabin to stop the execution. This leads to an interesting conclusion; and you will have to decide if justice is served.

I base myself on the fact that i've viewed a lot of horror films and psychological thrillers and the like, this is unlike any i have seen although i did watch a trailer on the DVD when it loaded about a little boy thats abducted and killed and the parents the father being a doctor get revenge 'the torture' although i haven't seen said film yet I'm kinda thinking its gonna be the same thing..

I like the fact there is no soundtrack to this film, i really get a sense of the parents pain and I'm pretty sure if someone did that to my daughter i wouldn't be responsible for my actions either.

Its graphic yet moving and the actors played the roles well.. Honestly cannot complain

7 Days fmovies. This movie clearly defines the revenge thriller genre. As a superb standout from Canada, it delivers a myriad of emotions from a plethora of angles. It takes you on a journey inside your own mind as you compare the emotions of those affected in the movie, and compare them to emotions you think you might feel if something as horrific as the initial crime should (heaven forbid) happen in your everyday normal life.

The plot is simple, the direction is stark and unwavering, and the story is beautifully acted by all the players. What a gem!

One more thing. Of all the lame movies you read the reviews on, and the reviewer laments about never getting his/her '2 hours back' - you won't read any such nonsense about this flick. I highly recommend it. 10/10

I really liked this movie and am sad to say that I do not want to watch it again. The subject matter is very disturbing and not something you really want to go through more than once. The movie was very well done and realistic. While watching it you will go through a whole case of emotions, from anger, distraught, disgust to the feeling of love a father has for his daughter.

Amazingly acted and directed, this movie was done in a perfect, raw, way to help you feel what the father is going through.

I really can't understand how some reviewers did not see a point in this movie. I would spell it out for them, but do not want to spoil the experience for anyone reading this review. There is a point to this movie and it's really simple.

I love the fact that this movie did not have the usual twists and surprises that have become so prevalent with Hollywood thrillers. Seems like a lot of plots now a days rely too heavily on the surprise twist and "I did not see that coming" response from the movie goer rather than emotion.

This movie hits you like a tonne of bricks and keeps you on the edge until the very end.

WELL DONE !!!

Just finished seeing Les 7 jours du talion and I have to admit that words cannot begin to describe how that movie will affect you. The acting is superb, it is very much a "huis-clos" as we call it in French, a duel of actors in an enclosed space where no one else can see them.

I'm not a fan of torture porn, I've never seen the Saw and Hostel movies as they aren't my cup of tea personally. Warning here that the violence, though rare, is very graphic and realistic. But the characters are very convincing, especially in what they DON'T say aloud. And I agree with the choice not to add a soundtrack to that movie, it would detract from the tension in it.

I know that I normally buy a DVD of a really outstanding movie, but I'll pass on this one, though it is outstanding. It's just that the dark side of human nature does not always bear repeat contemplation.
