7 DAYS - SUNDANCE 2010
While often repellent and unsettling, this provocative look at revenge (and capital punishment), is eye opening, powerful, and haunting. This French import features Claude Legault as a doctor who takes the law into his own hands after his eight year old daughter is brutally raped and murdered. His course of action? Kidnap the perpetrator of this awful crime and give him a taste of his own medicine. 7 Days is ugly and unflinching but the scenes of graphic torture serve a distinct purpose. This isn't a torture porn film. This is an unforgettable expose on pain, grief, and how a quest for vengeance changes a man's life and those around him. Whether or not the doctor's actions are justifiable, is up to you the audience but this much is certain--the performances in this picture are masterful and director Daniel Grou serves up cinematic images I will never forget.
