Svaniti nella notte

First the Netflix description (at least in the U. S.) is somewhat misleading. It implies a grieving dad revenge actioner or mystery in the mold of Taken or The Postcard Killings. It isn't, it's more of a slow burn thriller focused on the interpersonal drama of a small cast of characters.

Even once you realize that and temper your expectations, the movie's not particularly interesting. None of the characters is sympathetic enough for you to care what happens to them. Without any character investment there's no real sense of threat or danger.

The big twist doesn't get enough time to breathe. It's introduced, it's perplexing for a moment, and then it's resolved right away. The movie's technically competent and decently performed but it fails to sustain any suspense or tension.

It delivers just some of thrills, when the lead actor embarks on a dark journey into the criminal underworld to retrieve his missing children. A parent's love is a great engine to get audiences on board with a thriller. There is plenty of thrillers letting the audience follow the story of a parental figure trying to keep their kid safe in a worst-case scenario. This one is not a particularly interesting movie, just still worth watching for fans of this type of light thrillers, it does provide the escapist entertainment it sets out to deliver. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece that does something brand-new; sometimes, it's good enough to just deliver the goods in a popular gen and it doesn't seem so good acted either.

I dont understand why anabelle wallis's voice was dubbed in this. But anyway septimo or vanished in to the night is a new italian netflix film. A husband and wife are in the middle of a custody battle. The kids dont seem to know or care really. They go to staty with their father. The place is being renivated and mistake number one they are sleeping in a seperate building to hime and surprisingly the kids go missing, while getting them back he has to do a deal with a guy. He drops cock in the street and no one even seems to stop him for somereason. Acting not bad but a lot of things dont make sense in this.

I didn't look at reviews before watching this movie.

After watching it, I'm surprised ratings are 5.3/10.

I give 7/10.

Good storyline and twists.

Man and wife are in the middle of a bitter divorce and that includes children custody.

Plus the man has someone chasing him for collecting a lot of money from the man. Ultimatum given.

Threats

Then one night, his children disappear and man has to go to extraordinary lengths to find them. He is prepared to do everything possible to find them.

However man has to face a lot of dangers and dangerous people.

I like how the storyline developed.

The actor playing the role of the man desperately looking for his children is excellent !

Shot with a Hitchcockian feel, this movie had some really lovely edge of your seat moments, however, it is let down by an anti-climactic ending that doesn't make any sense. It feels like there needs to be more of a build up before it gets to the action. It feels like lazy writing. Without giving too much away, it is worth a watch for the riveting scenes, where the father has to do a drug run. Sadly, after that, the plot falls flat. At the end you are left a little confused, as everything is resolved very quickly and without much logic. The actors do the best with what they are given. I wasn't sorry I watched it, it just could have been so much better.
