Watch Seven Days For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Masterpiece!

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Blistering performances.

"Prisoners" with Hugh Jackman was a good revenge film. However, because it was a Hollywood production, we never got to see Paul Dano graphic beating, just the aftermath. In 7 Days, you're not spared the brutality; it's right in your face. Yes, you need a strong stomach to handle it. Also, if you are turned off by male nudity, this movie isn't for you.I question the pacing of the film, though. It can be pretty lethargic in spots. That's pretty much what my complaint was with "Martyrs." I couldn't help thinking that the director wanted to fill the audience with the same kind of ennui anyone who was kidnapped will face. Yes, we get it. Revenge doesn't happen at 100 MPH. The acting was spot on in this film. The atmosphere created was tense as hell. The father's brutality seemed over the top, but I guess it is what it is. I'd say the film is worth seeing if it could be re-edited for a faster pace.

I'm going to review "7 Days" today, which is a Canadian/French horror revenge drama thriller ( WOW! That's a mouthful!) However, I want to get this thought out before we get to the review, and I'm going to explain why I want to share this thought before I review the movie. As a childless, married man for several years, I close my eyes, and I ponder how any sick soul on the planet would have the heart to do bodily harm to a child, and yet we see these sickening acts daily. We hear about it on the news, we read about it in tabloids, and we see the headlines on the internet. It's every parents worse nightmare...pedophiles. Even though I have no children, one may think that this would not be of any concern to me. It is a strong concern for me! The reason is simple: I know several people who have children, and I wouldn't wish any harm done to them. Even the parents I do not know, I wouldn't want any harm done to their kids. However, it happens daily, it happens every minute, every second. As if that's not disturbing enough, "7 Days" will explore how one man steps over the line of being sick enough to molest a child, but to murder an eight year old girl as well. That's not a man, that's a monster. I always believed molestation was the devastation. How could you take a child's life as well? The movie I am going to review will explore one fathers vengeance upon the attacker. And I'll let you know straight up, you are not going to be waiting long to see what he's got in store for him. The thought I want to share with you, is the reaction that some people will have watching this film. ( And the reaction seems to be the same for many of these films of the same genre.) You may hear one say: "Well, daddy is just as bad as him. No matter what someone does to you, you don't go around hurting other people." Well, daddy isn't going around hurting other kids, so I tend to disagree with you. What is very shocking, is a huge percentage of people agree that a father taking matters in his own hands is just wrong, that he should just turn this over to the police, and let them handle it. Obviously, a few of us disagree with the procedure that these slime bags get for their crimes committed, feeling as if they are handled all too lightly. I question how, living in the United States, how rape is handled through long drawn out court cases, and yet the penalty for rape in the military is simple...the punishment is death! This movie is not in English, it's in french. I do not speak french, I do not understand french, and I really do not understand a word that was spoken in this movie. Why did I watch it? Simple: I wanted to see a pedophile/rapist/killer get the sh*t knocked outta him! And "7 Days" delivered the goods. Given the fact that the father doesn't speak one single word to the killer anyway, it justified me giving it a decent review. What you can expect, is some very emotional/ intense atmosphere, I cannot stress this enough. And the violence in this movie is incredibly graphic. If your too sensitive of a viewer, back away from this, please. There are many scenes of disturbing nature. Oh, and I think I forgot to tell you, daddy has an ace up his sleeve...HE'S A DOCTOR! So don't be surprised when he does a fantastic surgical procedure on the pervert, rigging his stomach up so that if he has to poop, it's straight out his belly! Unfortunately, I was more saddened then relieved to see this creep get what he deserves. There's plenty of scene's when the father says absolutely nothing, his hardened face softens at times, and you can see the pain in his eyes of losing his child. Then, his eyes become cold, and he unleashes his vengeance on thee, with a whip, with a sledgehammer, with a drug that will paralyze his entire body. This film is well acted, and everything seems near perfect. ( Due to its nature, I am restricting this to a 7 out of 10 rating. It's obviously nothing I can ever bare to watch again. Once is enough for me.) A quick message to any sap who thinks about harming a child, think again, this could be you one day!

First review I've made of a film but this was so incredibly boring I felt I had to say something...I spent the entire film WAITING for something to happen. Spoiler? It never does. Don't watch this expecting graphic violence; beyond a broken knee and one cut everything else is skipped out and implied. Prefer to watch for a story? None. How about character? Dull as paint!The main character, a doctor, is brilliantly clever but does...nothing. Really pointless with no clear message. Gave it a 2/10 generously due to the fact that the quality of the filming was actually decent. If you want to waste this much time for a cleverly artistic view of forests and a guy drinking beer, sleeping in his own vomit (or a candid shot of a naked guy being chained to the floor) your choice. Much better ways to waste your life away.

Not sure what the heck these other reviews are raving about. Most pathetic revenge flick ever. Watching a kid try to fry an ant with a magnifying glass is more disturbing than this movie. The father spends more time destroying furniture and yapping on the phone than exacting any sort of revenge on the pedophile. I kept waiting and waiting for the action to start, but it never started! Next thing I knew, the movie was over. I was hoping for something along the lines of Man On Fire, but this was a snore fest. It was not disturbing and nor was it realistic at all. The summary of the movie is this in a nutshell, "A father captures his daughter's killer/rapist and then doesn't know what to do next." Doesn't sound like a great revenge flick, and if I had known this from the beginning, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
