If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I had heard that this was awful, but nothing could prepare me for what I was about to view. I thought at least it could be "So bad it's good" but alas, no, it's "So bad it's bad" It just seems that part-way through the production they either gave up or didn't know where to take it. The story was peppered with plot holes and an abundance of terrible acting apart from performances from Tom Goodman-Hill, Martin Compston and Craig Conway.I'm not going to ramble on about this film as I think I've wasted too much time on it already.Avoid at all costs!!!

Watched this film last night on love film Not a film to get excited about but worth a watch Seeing this a Danny dyer film straight to DVD like most he produces these days was big fan of his early films human traffic football factory etc and few Recents malice in wounderland I liked pretty much everything else he's done toilet So back to this one for a low budget b movie weren't bad Acting thought was good from each character plot was hard to understand he gets head kicked in changes from the attacked to attacker then from that body to a tramp and so on but never really answered any thing I found entertaining deffo till end but was no classic different role for Mr dyer yes but he a one trick pony who's never going to win many races

I watched this movie yesterday. Not a bad movie at all.After the first 10 minutes or so, it catches your attention. In fact, you'll be asking yourself 'what is going on?' throughout most of the movie. It is a little confusing, perhaps watching it a second or a third time would answer a few questions. But I think (and most viewers too) I won't spend more time with, it is worth watching once, not more.Different characters repeat the same phrases in different occasions, I couldn't help but compare this to 'Cloud Atlas', only in a different (much lower) level. Perhaps this adds some interest to the story, I think this makes it a little more confusing. See for yourself.Overall, '7 Lives' is not a masterpiece, far from it, but it is watchable - if you have 99 minutes to spend.

Hi, I really enjoyed 7Lives. Looks great, not like a low budget, 1st film. Loved the cast. I am only familiar with Danny Dyer, Kate Ashfield, and Martin Compston. I have seen the Doctor before but I can't place him just yet (I'll check IMDb). All of the other actors were good. I liked the story because it was smart and I couldn't predict what was going to happen, how refreshing. Some movies are unpredictable because the story doesn't make sense or too convoluted but that wasn't the case in this film. I am disappointed that the DVD didn't have a director's audio commentary. I buy/rent dvds of movies I really like and I learn so much from the commentary. Especially how much problem solving is involved in film-making: changing plans due to budget constraints, actors dropping out, limited time to shoot scenes, not being able to use certain equipment, etc. My compliments to you and the cast and crew. I am looking forward to your future work.
