7 años (2016)

7 años: Directed by Roger Gual. With Juana Acosta, Alex Brendemühl, Paco León, Manuel Morón. Four friends face an agonizing decision. One must go to prison. The other three must make the sacrifice worthwhile.

“Really good acting and interesting character development in a tense and claustrophobic setting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBig personalities battling to expose each otheru0026#39;s emotional weaknesses that pretty much covered all 7 of the deadly sins. The premise for the plot of corporate financial wrongdoing did not make you favor one character over another so was left to the film to lead you to the same conclusions on each person as each of the characters would have as they attacked each other on a personal level.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe attacks started fairly civilized as they utilize a third party but quickly drop the passive aggressiveness and go full on. This transition is really the point of the film and the pace is just about right.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending was a bit abrupt and disappointingly predictable but by that time the viewersu0026#39; verdict was set and the ending, while a let down, was somewhat inconsequential to the success of the film.”
