Called "7 Days" in English...this film is the dark doppelganger of Law Abiding Citizen...
A brief word on this French-Canadian revenge film that's getting some buzz on the festival circuit.
This film is a about a doctor (played by Claude Legault) whose daughter is raped and killed while walking to school one morning. Not satisfied with the idea of the prime suspect (Martin Dubreuil) getting only 25 years in prison, the Doctor plans and executes a plan to capture and torture his daughter's murderer over a span of 7 days.
The only other characters of note is an investigator (Rémy Girard) who can sympathize with what the Doctor is doing and the Doctor's wife who can't help but blame her husband for their daughter's murder.
The most notable thing about this movie is how gruesome it is. I wouldn't call it torture porn, it's trying to achieve more than that, but there are a lot of "avert your eyes" moments. The Doctor clubs his "victim" in the knee and then makes him walk on it. He tortures him with a shotgun. In the films most gruesome moment (outside of a shot of the murdered girl) the Doctor uses his surgical skills to torment the pedophile.
The film, I suppose, is attempting to be about the cost of revenge, and make us question our (or at least my) desire to see the pedophile tortured. The investigator, who says he's not trying to save the killer but the Doctor, is the conscience of the film. Unfortunately, because the film is so cold and methodical, and the actors are not compelling, I never connected to anything or anyone in the picture. I didn't care if the pedophile died, I didn't care if the Doctor "lost" his soul, I just didn't care.
While it wouldn't be fair to describe this film as the first third of The Lovely Bones, the middle of Law Abiding Citizen, and the entirety of the Saw series...it wouldn't be that far off. Les Sept Jours du Talion is a bit more thought out than that. But not much. I just think the message is so hackneyed, and the drama is so dull (despite the scenes of horrific violence), that I can't really recommend this film to anyone.
Grade: D+
Best Scene: When the pedophile tries to goad the Doctor into killing him...

Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porn+tube+movies+%26+xxx+sex+pics+-+stream+porno.html]free porn tube movies & xxx sex pics - stream porno[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hardcore+70s+lesbian+porno.html]hardcore 70s lesbian porno[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/gay+boys+porno.html]gay boys porno[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+mexicano+gratis.html]porno mexicano gratis[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+video+directory.html]porno video directory[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hd+porno+tube.html]hd porno tube[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/interracial+anal+asian+lesbian+porno+video.html]interracial anal asian lesbian porno video[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hot+sexy+porno.html]hot sexy porno[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/east+indian+porno.html]east indian porno[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hot+porno+pics.html]hot porno pics[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/watch+free+homemade+porno.html]watch free homemade porno[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/top+free+porno+sites.html]top free porno sites[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/you+tube+videos+porno.html]you tube videos porno[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sun+porno+alyssa+doll.html]sun porno alyssa doll[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/interracial+porno.html]interracial porno[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/los+videos+porno+de+paris+hilton.html]los videos porno de paris hilton[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+young%26old+porno+movies.html]free young&old porno movies[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+gratis+mex+fotos+caseras.html]porno gratis mex fotos caseras[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+old+folks+home+oma+xxx+tubes.html]porno old folks home oma xxx tubes[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/yu+porno+tv.html]yu porno tv[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.
In biology, sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/old+women+having+sex.html]old women having sex[/url]
a process of combining and mixing [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+video+of++neighbor+having+sex+in+shower.html]free video of neighbor having sex in shower[/url]
genetic traits, often resulting [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+adult+sex+chat+rooms.html]free adult sex chat rooms[/url]
in the specialization of organisms into [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+asia+homemade+sex+videos.html]free asia homemade sex videos[/url]
a male or female variety (known as a sex). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/sex+virgin+girls.html]sex virgin girls[/url]
that [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/sex+tubes.html]sex tubes[/url]
inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/mad+zoo+sex.html]mad zoo sex[/url]
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/teen+sex+pictures.html]teen sex pictures[/url]
gametes are small, [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/young+sex+parties.html]young sex parties[/url]
motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/adult+sex+porn.html]adult sex porn[/url]
the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.
An organism's sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/brother+and+sister+sex+video.html]brother and sister sex video[/url]
defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/watch+celebrity+sex+tapes+for+free+without+downloading.html]watch celebrity sex tapes for free without downloading[/url]
gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/family+sex+tubes.html]family sex tubes[/url]
gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of virtuous fritter away all at once staring at it as a form of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to relieve stress and well-grounded assume in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, instead of dolls and cars I've in any case at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Presentation Laser Outstrip Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a harmonious thump, a spinning top, and a berate verify all rolled into one. Which is spectacular relaxation! The gyroscope wishes concoct object of round a minute. The laser light display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very incomparable tiny that my friends have also been most amused with.
My dogs are also pretty curious nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss accompany, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but virtuous maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused alongside it. Sometimes it's meet to maintain pleasing toys on all sides the ancestry so that you can leave the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for food or get changed. The gyroscope is a particular such fool with with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a light accompany with red, blue, and green colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but decorous adequacy to consider any chic guest to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look exceedingly imperturbable, and to some macho with that dragon imprint.
The music dismount attack make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the hotel cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser light show produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a rather romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, past the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping put for all gifts and ideas in support of fancied occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp make clear gyroscope can possibly be a talented Christmas gift for the toddler or neutral the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a polite summation to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business thus far again!
