Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

jmmurphy-09206 This film is a mish mash of scenarios, poorly executed. The film jumps from one scene to another in a random fashion. The whole thing looks like it was hastily put together at the last minuet. It is altogether an embarrassing advertisement for the British film industry. The characters especially the Russians/Romainians are scarcely believable.

M De Storm Well, surely the casting was for Bill Mummy from Lost In Space, and not Billy Murray, the Brit-Grit Copper that caught more blaggers than D.I. Burnside on The Bill. From the off-set of this film you are pulled into the plot, shaking, not stirred, before realising that both Billy Murray and Craig Fairbrass have suddenly lost the plot.Though we haven't seen any of Stuart St. Paul's movies, it would maybe be a hazardous guess that he has not been Directing films for long! Because on the other side of the lense, what we see is the very amateurish acting, very bad continuity and a basically fantastic Brit-Grit movie that has just died on its a… After watching "The Last Seven", we believed that Craig Fairbrass had really got it going. Unfortunately, both Fairbrass and Murray appear to act with bad direction.The violent scenes of battles with the Russians and the Brits is pretty in tune to satisfy the Gore-Hunters, while the rest is too fast-paced and misdirecting from a storyline point of view. Ambient music going on in the background would have been welcomed during any part of this 1 hour 30+ minute movie, though the intro and rolling credits music is great.DVD Archive Rating: 6/10 [7/10 if Billy Murray became a real Ex-Military Soldier]

TopBobUK I felt obliged to write this review as a) the current 3.8/10 rating is too high, and b) to show that not everyone from West Yorkshire will give this a 10. I expected so much more from this but was highly disappointed with a film with very little redeeming qualities. This is ridiculously over the top and has none of the realism or even semi believability of 'Taken' or anything else you could compare this to. The amount of gun deaths is just stupid for the UK. Characters are not set up or developed and are not helped by poor acting. There is an endless supply of cannon fodder in the competing gangs - which just makes for confusing fight scenes as you don't know who is who. This has a point to make about immigration and the law in the UK which is handled quite well but it just a shame its surrounded by a film of this low calibre.

jonmccann This is the epitome of awfulness and why British movies have such a bad reputation. Ultimately, if a British movie is made with a factual script, it's usually good, if a British movie is made with a fictional script, it's bloody appalling, and this proves it.From the start the amount of violence shown is ridiculous, not sure whether that's because of just the violence, or also the fact that it's so indiscriminate. I think the latter is probably the case. Although its then made even more bizarre by the kidnapping of the lead actors daughter, who is subsequently tied up and never seems to be hit, tortured etc, it just doesn't make sense.I started to take notes fairly quickly into this film, because I was so appalled by it. For me, it was too quick to integrate new people, without establishing them, then giving them a major role in the progression, for example a brother is suddenly introduced and goes on to kill three people in the next few seconds?!?! The subplots are silly, a nine year old was kidnapped early on for onward sale to a peodophile (presumably), then is not seen again until three quarters of the way into the movie?! Then rescued?! I saw a very poor display of realism with the wife of the main lead, really, she was a gangsters wife?! I also watched the bizarre dialogue about romanians sticking heads on sticks, then the statement that English people did this as well, which just left me floundering! Aside from all that, we had the garage scene, where the main bad guy infiltrates and escapes with relative ease and no explanation. I could go on and on...On the whole, the idea was a good one, use the film 'taken' as the blueprint and make it British, the trouble was that Taken was American made and quality, and was not afraid to be brutal using the viewers imagination, this film has struck out badly because it tried to be brutal, but remembering its British, so easing back on the screenplay, it doesn't work, at all! It's so frustrating to see these types of movies made, because brit flicks can do so much more, sadly this film will end up in the £1.00 bargain bucket and doesn't deserve to be anywhere else.
