7 prisonniers

I enjoyed this movie a lot.

Of course it's a simple movie but the story is not predictable at all. The characters are interesting and the camera work is very good too. You can watch it for free also

Give it a chance.

A very good attempt to portray the treatment and conditions of people who are trafficked for their labour.

I am going to guess that actual conditions and treatment are much, much worse but that would probably make an unwatchable movie.

Every person who cares about the treatment of their fellow human beings, should see this movie.

This film exposes the reality of labor exploitation in Brazil.

The film has a good development of the story, it exposes a forceful blow of reality about how it is to want to improve the individual economic situation, it touches the subject of labor exploitation, corruption, of how economic necessity can force you to enslave other people in order to make money regardless of the human rights of others, it is impressive how this film exposes these issues and how it develops a memorable and very raw story. The performances make the movie feel very real, the production design is good as is the character development. The only negative aspect is that when something shocking happens it does not continue, it stays there and it does not happen in the story.

But still the film manages to impact the viewer and manages to expose the labor and economic situation that exists in Brazil.

The story takes you on a journey from humble beginnings of a peaceful village to the urban decay of the city.

This movie gets you thinking, what would you do? Question your mortality and it did a fine job in showcasing this.

Definitely worth a watch, would of liked to see more towards ending of the movie regarding the main character.

As a Brazilian that lives in Sao Paulo, the city that serves as the background to 7 Prisoners, I can testify for many cruel aspects that the director Alexandre Moratto depicts in his latest movie available on Netflix.

Labor slavering has been a serious issue in Brazil since the distant colonial times to the current days. This country of continental dimensions has a bruising absense of the State, from its distant, remote parts to its huge metropolises, crowded with people from small countryside cities, and immigrants from all over the third world looking for a ceiling, a job, and food.

These evil ingredients result in a very favorable scenario to what we see in 7 Prisoners. Moratto's vision of this problem is raw and realistic, sculpting a very tridimensional take on both antagonist and protagonist characters.

The moral dilemma lived by Mateus, a victim of this corrupted system, is shocking and heartbreaking, keeping the audience uncomfortable and distressed.

7 Prisoners is not escapist entertainment, and neither the movie will make an effort to be that. There won't be a hero coming and saving the day, nor a growing journey blessing the protagonist with a common sense of justice and good sense in the end.

This is not a thriller or an action film, this is a depicting of reality as cruel as it is, so if you are not into a realistic take on life facts, this movie is not for you. For the others, breathe deeply and be prepared for 90 minutes of uncomfortable truth. You won't regret it.
