| DoddleKimberly GadetteFinally. An action film that's more about the characters than the chase ... even though the chase is damn good, worthy of a Special Mention for cinematographer Alex Catalan. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely Swanson... this stunning film deserves to be seen by a wide audience. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerIt also features a major star turn by Mario Casas, a Spanish star who is bound to break out internationally. |
| User ReviewAlejandro CPeli española de policías en acción (no piensen en Torrente) que viene a demostrar que todavía se puede hacer cine de ese género, y bien. Muy bien. Excelentemente diría yo. Lo primero que deja en claro (en una primera persecución en que uno de los protagonistas se queda con merca) es que son corruptos. Lo segundo es que están ahí para hacer su trabajo, y por cualquier medio necesario (por ejemplo pegar martillazos en la cabeza en una interrogación). Y lo tercero es el contexto: suburbia de Sevilla que reacciona a este escuadrón prepotente que se cree mil. La peli encarrila en una escalada de furia y violencia que pensé que tenía que terminar en fatalidad. Pero en vez de eso, al final desacelera, disuelve, tira alguna pincelada final sobre los personajes y se va a los títulos. No es el mejor final, pero sí uno propio, y que no empaña todo lo anterior: hora y media de cine puro, potente, y mucho más vivo que cualquier Hollywoodeada que haya visto recientemente. |
| User ReviewVacationer Uastonishing how they made this movie with every situation looking real and without those logic holes almost every high budget action movie got |
| User ReviewAngel MOverall good movie with well developed characters. I should say that this movie kept me watching because of how realistic it was. Awesome action thriller script that worked. |
| User ReviewJH KNo se si es porque me gustan los dramas policiacos particularmente pero esta va bien engancha y tiene de todo un poco |
| User ReviewIvan SLo que me llama la atencion de Grupo 7 es que toma los cliches de las peliculas policiacas gringas ("Novato vs Experimentado"-"Corrupto vs Decente" - "Familiar vs Solitario") y los situa en la Sevilla de la Expo '92 con unos tintes demasiado realistas, que hacen de la pelicula una de las grandes opcionadas al Goya 2012. |
| User ReviewAl MUnit 7 has a tough assignment: to clean the most dangerous drug trafficking networks out of Seville and bring an end to the corrosive power that has taken hold of the streets. A detail of four, the unit is led by Ángel (Mario Casas), a young officer aspiring to detective, and Rafael (Antonio de la Torre), a violent, arrogant yet efficient cop. But unit 7's modus operandi is slipping outside the bounds of the law through their use of violence, coercion, lies and half-truths. For them, anything goes. As they gain ground in their mission, the two officers head in opposite directions. Angel takes de path of ambition and police excesses while Rafael will begin to change as a result of his feelings for a young homeless girl... "Unit 7" ("Grupo 7") is a cliché driven and standard formula cop thriller. Despite the general fact that it´s an ok thriller/action movie set in Seville leading up to Expo 92, I couldn´t shake the fact that the makers of this film seems to have had "Copthrillers for dummies" in their lap when they made this, as "Unit 7" has such an A-Z standard structure with a mishmash of every cop thriller that has come out the US the past 30 years. Thus, I felt that "Unit 7" adds absolutely nothing new in the genre as everything in the movie have been seen and done before. I´m kind of surprised the film was nominated for 16 Goya Awards in 2012. Nah, this is really nothing special as I hoped for. |
| User ReviewRoman R"Grupo 7" es una propuesta española que nos introduce a una unidad policíaca en Sevilla a finales de los ochentas, encargados de combatir el narcotráfico. Esta no es una tarea fácil y pronto se encontrarán formando parte de la misma corrupción que tratan de resolver. La cinta no es particularmente original (uno puede observar todos los clichés del género policíaco en ella) pero es entretenida, con buenas actuaciones y un interesante contexto social. No esta mal para entretener durante una tarde aburrida. |
