I don't know. This is not a terrible film, but I think it's not that far from being misery porn.

I liked it better 'The White Tiger' —Ramin Bahrani, the director of that one, produced '7 Prisoners.' Both were taken by Netflix, but theI don't know. This is not a terrible film, but I think it's not that far from being misery porn.

I liked it better 'The White Tiger' —Ramin Bahrani, the director of that one, produced '7 Prisoners.' Both were taken by Netflix, but the approach is very different. While 'The White Tiger' tackles corruption and social hierarchy through satire, '7 Prisoners' takes itself very seriously.

'The White Tiger' is not perfect, but its tone is highly engaging. The drama around '7 Prisoners' is mortifying and somber, but sometimes is solely based on the suffering of the victims, and not that much on the protagonist's struggle, whose moral dilemma is not fully explored.… Expand

7 Prisoners isn't a film that offers enough variation to be perceived as a more proactive film, but its story of modern slavery is a stark account and reminder of a gruelling and painful reality that millions of people face with the promise7 Prisoners isn't a film that offers enough variation to be perceived as a more proactive film, but its story of modern slavery is a stark account and reminder of a gruelling and painful reality that millions of people face with the promise of a better life. The fragility of the soul and your will are among the main themes of this film, and how it ends up affecting one of its main characters, in a passage that shows the rottenness of his captors and the corruption that allows this situation to thrive so openly until it closes with the inevitable blow of countless lives ruined. This is not a subtle film, nor does it need to be, and even with its drawbacks and flaws, it's considerably tragic and pertinent.… Expand

Es una película brasileña muy impactante y deprimente. Dato curioso: esta película tiene 4 doblajes en español (latino, mexicano, argentino y español de España).

Good and fast paced movie. Rodrigo Santoro is one of the best actors ever, better than a bunch of Hollywood big names. It's not very believable that police officers of São Paulo Military Police would be so ostensibly involved in suchGood and fast paced movie. Rodrigo Santoro is one of the best actors ever, better than a bunch of Hollywood big names. It's not very believable that police officers of São Paulo Military Police would be so ostensibly involved in such activities but it's still a good, raw and touching movie.

Note: brazilian movies should be watched with original audio.… Expand

The events in the film take place in the lowest, poor, disenfranchised, uneducated strata of the population, but since the basis in labor relations under capitalism is built on the exploitation of the worker and the alienation of labor results, the situation can be transferred to any working collective engaged in real work, i.e. creating surplus value. So office workers are constantly faced with a situation of overtime, a tight schedule, an extremely scheduled plan, where creativity and quality have already been sacrificed, and the goal is also to maximize profits. Everyone suffers from the system, the contradiction of the interests of the owner of the means of production and the workers leads to an imminent crisis, or even the collapse of the system itself for the better, or what is more likely with spontaneity, disorganization of workers for the worse. The film does not leave anyone indifferent, it shows the motivation of people well, where everyone can be understood, but is it possible to forgive?… Expand

In fact, none of us are free. Only some of us are more prisoner. So is this a requirement?
