Seven Days ( 2007)



Seven Days is a thriller starring Yunjin Kim (Lost).  The premise of the story is that her daughter has been kidnapped and Ji-Yeon (Kim) must successfully defend a murderer in order to get her daughter back.  Oh yeah, she only has seven days to do it.

This is really strong drama, a Korean strong point.  The pacing is a little slow but the tension continues to build throughout the movie.  The ending surprised me, so the story telling wasn't completely predictable.

Kim does an excellent job.  I think the movie was seven days because she was in between seasons of lost and didn't have time to film a movie called thirty days.  All of the acting is well done, without the hyperbole that you find in comedies.

Overall it was a good movie.  If you like thrillers you will enjoy this one.
