caitlin-k-49-273375 I watched this entirely in french so i cannot comment on any of the dialogue but i dont think it mattered in this, its not hard to understand, it was a sad movie and i thought that the torture scenes would be too much for me but i handled it fine because the man was so awful, what he did to the little girl was so awful, i really felt for the husband and wife, especially the husband, the acting was wonderful even without English subtitles, i was immersed in the story and felt pain along with the parents(obviously nothing compared to what parents actually feel in this situation ) so i cried my eyes out when he sees his daughters ghost and unties her and washes her, it was so .. gentle and i knew he wished so bad that he could of done this for her , i also noticed that the deer seemed to be some sort of symbol, like how it was dead and he tried to bury it like he was trying to bury the pain of his daughters death and find a way to avenge her death and the view of the deers body decayed further even after he tried to bury it kind of felt like it was part of his emotions and went together with him torturing the man and dealing with his hatred and sorrow and trying to fight through the indignity of his daughter death sorry its hard to explain but i think it all was connected .

SnoopyStyle Surgeon Bruno Hamel lives an ordinary suburban life with his wife and daughter Jasmine. Jasmine goes missing and then found brutally raped and murdered. Anthony Lemaire is arrested with undeniable evidence. Bruno drugs the prison transport driver and kidnaps Lemaire. He promises police detective Mercure that he will kill Lemaire in 7 days on Jasmine's birthday. Mercure himself had lost his wife in a convenient store shooting.There is a quiet brutality about torture but the characters are a little too quiet about it. His inner conflict actually bugged me a little. The villain is an absolute villain. If there is more doubt, it would have made Bruno's hesitation more understandable. I like the other mother character. Overall, the movie has very little tension and it could have been more intense with a few changes.

FF_Beaner I read the book before watching the movie. Les sept jours du Talion by Pat. Senecal was way better then the movie. Major element were not put in the movie. The deer thing was originally a dog always crying making Bruno Hamel go insane and yelling at the forest. The movie also forgot to show how crazy and mad bruno hamel turned. we didn't saw him driving drunk and almost crashing in cars. The story seemed incomplete since it lacked on explanation of why he turned like he was in the end. They really rushed the part were he organized the kidnapping of Lemaire, which in the book was methodical and complex that we saw he had turned cold and silent. For the actor part, Marc legault did a really good work, we really felt his anger and his pain. Other then that, not many actor seemed to emerge from the movie. The wife was also left apart of the story, making the movie miss another important thing from the book. In the end, it wasn't as good as 5150 rue des ormes, another book/movie from senecal, but it was worth watching it.

CinemaPat "Does knowing your wife's murderer is behind bars make life any more bearable?""7 Days" is a powerful and brutal film about a happily married surgeon who as a result of the rape and murder of his daughter falls into a dark obsession with revenge. WARNING: this movie is VERY graphic and not for the easily offended or people with a weak stomach. "7 Days" deals with a very difficult subject matter and does not hold back. Claude Legault (Bruno) and Rémy Girard (Hervé) did an incredible job with the acting. Fanny Mallette (Sylvia) also did wonderfully, though I would have liked to have seen more of her throughout the movie. I found myself wondering why the director did not feature more of the mother's struggle. There is one scene in particular that showcases the raw talent Legault and Mallette have. It was a tour de force of brilliant acting.However, the movie is not without it's faults. One of the more interesting decisions made by the director was to not include a musical soundtrack. This worked I think in favor of the atmosphere but there could have been some fill in music at times. It seemed like the director was trying to fill holes in the story a bit too hard. There were a couple of things that didn't make much sense to do and the ending left a little to be desired."7 Days" may not be the cream of the crop of revenge flicks, but it does succeed where others fail. It is such a harrowing subject matter and is shot in such a realistic way that you are forced to have an emotional response, whether you like it or not. There are some powerful visuals that will stay with you for days, possibly months after.
