DAY 7

About This Movie

DAY 7 is an intriguing blend of crime and mystery, guided by the steady hand of Fernando Gomes. The atmosphere feels dense, almost claustrophobic, reflecting Rocha's disconnection from the force and the weight of the case. I found the pacing thoughtful, allowing tension to build without rushing through the plot twists. The themes of duty and redemption are woven intricately, highlighting Rocha's internal struggles while he grapples with a world he once knew. I noticed the practical effects, too, which add a rawness to the film that often gets lost in CGI-heavy productions. Performances feel authentic, especially the lead, who captures that weariness and determination. It’s a film that lingers, not just for its mystery but for the deeper reflections it evokes.
