The 7th Floor (2013)
1/10
Terrible movie
6 January 2016
The beginning started great, the story seems to be actually quite good but the directing, the actors and the plot twist seem unfinished, the decisions by the actors on characterization quickly made, there's no depth, no reality.

Ricardo seems great at times, but for a father who lost his children he doesn't perform a convincing role, I understand panic is sometimes withheld and shock is part of the process but we never get that "panic" feel. The mother is even less convincing, perhaps if one had played the "panic" role and the other the "nervous/supporting" role we could feel convinced by these parents going through turmoil.

When the twist happens and then gets resolved there's one huge hole in which the audience can't find no logic for, this totally ruins the movie. We think perhaps the shock of the situation is what leaves the father ignoring this HUGE loophole the audience can see, but the directing, supporting actors or lead don't deliver a convincing way to forget about it.

The ending comes fast, there's no moment to feel for the characters, the acting of the children is generic, as if someone told them "do this, or that" their roles have no depth and do not fit the situation they are in. Finally I can say that this is one of the worst movies I've seen.
