this is indeed one of the most disturbing psychological thrillers which I have recently seen. I can wholly empathise with Bruno the young man in the movie whose daughter has been murdered and his wishfulness for revenge to the killer.
there are several films of this genre I wish to mention. In Unthinkable, for different reasons completely, Samuel L Jackson is pushed to limits in torture of the detainee. Torture is the theme in this film to which I refer. Same can be said of 2003 film Teresia which was also in the French language. The Brazilian transsexual detainee was also subjected to extreme torture. whether torture can be distinguished from unjustified violence in movies of this kind I am not sure.
I enjoyed'seven days' and followed the sub titles throughout for English translation. yes the storyline was hollow at times and the parts of the wife and the lead detective were both crying out for character expansion. I would also express my disappointment at the ending but was there any other possible? Yes there were some scenes which were overdone.
I watched the film because oddly I like movies in the French language and the storyline from the DVD cover appealed to me. It is certainly not a horror movie but a disturbing psychological thriller. If a paedophile kills a child, any child, he is bound to be a victim of society and be potentially pursued for revenge by a righteous parent.
Remember also Gerard Butlers character in Law Abiding Citizen and you know what I mean.
