disappointing effort

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2015)

I could give this film credit for acting, for cinematography, character development, etc., however, the failure seems to be in the story.
It is obvious from the outset what the "seven" refers to in the film, however it remains to be seen if the characters or the audience will be able to figure out what this will ultimately end up leading to as it goes along. I suppose it depends on how perceptive the characters or the audience are. There is a message behind the whole thing, and I will give credit that the message gets across and that is why I will give the movie half points for that execution, but as for surprises I will give it no credit at all.
The failure of this film is in the ultimate outcome as the detectives are not smart enough themselves to figure out what the viewer of the film can see coming.
