’7 Days’ Review For FilmCritic.com
Fun fact about film: if you take Saw and remake it in québécois, it’s still Saw… Even if it’s released in an art house instead of the local cineplex.
Liberally lifting tropes from the aforementioned torture porn series (and its green/grey color palate), as well as Antichrist, The Lovely Bones, and even Silence of the Lambs, Daniel Grou’s revenge drama doesn’t have an original bone in its body. However, with steady direction, strong central performances, and a script that keeps its dialogue light, it may feel like a million movies stuck in a blender, but at least its palatable.
