7 Seconds (2005)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Redundant and unnecessary.

Beautiful, moving film.

So boring, bland, embarrassingly awful, under-whelming and badly acted was '7 seconds', that I happily dozed off halfway through with not one whit of guilt (I usually like to see a film through to the bitter end before pronouncing such a damning indictment). The only cast member with any acting ability was Wesley Snipes and even he appeared lacklustre and weary in this miserably concocted heist 'thriller' (I use the word in the loosest sense of the meaning). Set in Romania, no visual attention was paid to any of its natural and cultural assets, history, art or scenic beauty; we were only 'treated' to scenes of the inner city of some drab, faceless, 'Eastern European' country filled with dull, clichéd characters lacking any iota of personality. The one-dimensional plot dragged along like a month of wet Sundays as one set of gangsters chased another set of gangsters who had (yawn) accidentally stolen an expensive painting from an armoured 'brinks' vehicle - that's about all I remember (or care to remember) of it and it would be a waste of your and my time in saying much more about this ill-conceived plot. The few attempts at humour were wincingly painful, the visuals dull and colourless, and the acting cringe-making. I do hope the script writer and director (Simon Fellows) are now in hiding and have made a written promise (in their own blood) never to subject the public to another of their ill-fated attempts at film making - and I do hope Wesley Snipes has recovered from the ignominy of appearing in such a bunch of drivel. Unless you're an insomniac looking for a cure for your sleeplessness, DON'T watch this movie!

look some people bash actors when they end up going the dtv route, why they are still delivering the same sort of movies, they just don't go to cinema. so here we have wesley snipes's second dtv effort '7 seconds' and while it's no 'blade' i personally think it's one of his strongest action movies, yes the script isn't great, but most action films are like that. the acting for the most part are good, and the action is very good, very slick, and wesley gets to do his thing, thanks to some very good fight scenes. the production values look good, and the music isn't cheesy and cheap. bottom line is, 7 seconds is a great action movie that delivers the goods, and wesley snipes fans should enjoy it, i recommend to fans of the genre

In the early part of this decade Hollywood turned it's back on Wesley Snipes, he had at one time been someone you could trust to be in a good film, and made a pretty cool action star, but then he just started taking bad movie after bad movie and they all went straight to DVD and with good reason...they suck! This of course is one of those movies, Its just your average low grade action movie chocked full of explosions, gunfights, car chases and bank heists but don't let that suck you in, because if you watch the trailer for this film you have seen all you need to see.I mean come on people, action movies are suppose to make you get excited, they need a good guy and a great bad guy. They need a plot that makes you give a damn and this movie had nothing. I have seen this movie a million times under other titles with different actors, same ole 'who cares' dry action.Save your time and watch a real action film that will excite you and entertain you. The car chase did have its moments, but it still didn't convince me into rating this movie with more than a 2 out of 10 stars.

The script is full of common places and absurd dialog .I find myself laughing my head off with some dialog that was supposed to be serious . The 2 leads are alright but some of the supporting actors perform like "Look , I'm in a Wesley Snipes movie ". I think that Wesley Snipes really enjoy acting in these kind of movies and I like some of them but it's about time that he goes for a more dramatic role cause I consider him a very fine and excellent actor and some of his previous movies show. Still I have watch some action movies that are worst than this one . I think that the direct to video release is fair in this case , the movie is not that good .I will look for his movie Chaos then with Jason Stantham.
