7 Days film posterImagine an intense French version of 2009’s Law Abiding Citizen; with less Jamie Foxx and more insane torture sequences, and you will get Seven Days. When a surgeon’s daughter is raped and murdered, he kidnaps her assailant and tortures him for seven days. The set-up is pretty basic, but it’s all about the execution (uh thank you) for a film centered on wretchedness. The film manages to come up with some original methods of maltreatment, including sphincter-relocation… but I will let you figure that one out on your own. The pacing is solid and it does not shy away from its major themes. Check it out, and let me know what you thought.
