Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

ftbllplyr909 i would not suggest this movie to my dog let alone anyone else, one of the main reasons was because it was in a language not worthy for movies Spanish and 2 they put SOCCER in the movie to most pathetic excuse for a sport and they try and say futball is a sport when really its to boring to be a sport and to be put in a movie!!!!! DO NOT WATCH the action is bad no violence there isn't enoughaction they need to learn more from American cinema before they try andmake movies if they have ever watched an American film they should know not to put something as boring as SOCCER in a movie people hate stuff that gets boring

embolicat Predictable, full of clichés and horrible jokes.This movie was made just to lure U2 into coming back to México. And they bit, that's the worst part of the story.A guy bets the lifetime savings from his girlfriend's parents (who, of course, can access her parents account without any warning) and bets it on an underground betting game in order to make money to bring U2 to Mexico.As expected, he loses the game and gets in trouble. Thank God the mafia don loves U2 and, lo and behold, the kid has 7 days to convince not only other investors, but the band's manager to play a gig in Mexico. Piece of cake.Incredibly badly written, even worst acting (specially from Camil who can't act to save his life) and the rest is a poor excuse for a movie. U2 fans who were attracted to this filth because they were told the band would appear in the movie, only get bad footage from the Vertigo tour tried to be synchronized with a song, which just doesn't happen.I think there should be fines for people who make movies this bad.

Roland E. Zwick An offbeat charmer from south-of-the-border, Fernando Kalife's "7 Dias" sets its tale of Quixotic dreamers and lowlife criminals within the context of a loopy pop culture obsession.The obsession, in this case, is the Irish band U2, which is scheduled to perform in Mexico as part of a worldwide tour. Claudio Caballero, a fledgling concert promoter, decides he's going to find a way to lure the group to his own hometown, even if that means having to deal with some mighty shifty and unsavory characters to make that event a reality. In fact, Caballero's been given seven short days to make good on his promise of booking the band - or face the consequences at the hands of the Mexican mafia.There's not a great deal of substance to what is essentially a high-concept, wish-fulfillment fantasy, but the sheer originality of the premise - along with the breezy, tongue-in-cheek and slightly sentimental tone of the work - goes a long way towards winning us over to the movie's side. To top it off, there are engaging performances by Eduardo Arroyuelo as Caballero, Martha Higareda as his supportive girlfriend, and Jaime Camil as a soft-hearted tough guy who views Bono as nothing less than a living saint sent to earth to intercede for all those wise enough to put their faith in him. And who would argue with that?

carolinebrownmonterey I just Saw "7 Dias"(7 Days) for the second time and me and my friends just loved it. What is going on with Mexican cinema this days? Gonzales Inarritu, Cuaron, Del Toro, Monteverde, and now this little gem.The movie grabs you so fast in the beginning that half way in it, I didn't realized that I was also reading sub-tittles. (It seems that sub-tittles is the new trend, ha?)The story is as simple as an underdog rock promoter that wants to get out of mediocrity and comes up with the idea of taking to a small city in northern Mexico "U2", the biggest band on earth. (But this is Mexico remember not the "staples center".)That Is the tip of the iceberg in a story that really is about life or dead decisions, friendship, and most important growing up ( Even harder in a country that opportunities are not the everyday commodity.) And this is a comedy!!! ....And you laugh!!! ...How cool is that?Don't expect to see a lot of "U2", because the band is just an excuse for the story. Not the movie by itself. But everything is so well done that becomes a wonderful and delightful experience. The photography, the art,the locations, are very interesting and peculiar. The score and the music is so moving that I even got the soundtrack from amazon.The actors are great!!!! A multilayered middle class hero "Claudio caballero", is incredibly played by Eduardo Arroyuelo, who is sooooooooooooo hot! that no doubt he is the new Antonio Banderas, being a blend between Antonio, Johnny Depp and Orlando bloom, (if you can picture that!) Eduardo is the star in the movie and it's amazing how subtle and elegant he plays the character, blowing me away in the end where ( wins or not, I'm not telling you, and doesn't matter) he as an actor makes the most amazing choice revealing an universal truth about success, "The world changes, you don't".The other character "Tony" played by Jaime Camil (An other hottie!!) takes the comedic relief by showing the other face of the coin of a Mexican mafia member, as well as being the perfect sidekick for Arroyuelo. They both together work and look great!!!I can't wait to see it again, this is the type of movie that is worth my dollars and my minutes... If Mexicans are doing these I'll stick to the Mexicans!!! Or if I have to be patriotic and wait and see the Hollywood remake; God! please just tell them to keep Eduardo!!!!!!!
