Film Expert 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!!!

Mr. Fritz 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.

richardsmith318 Please do not watch this film. I have just wasted what feels like 7 lifetimes of excruciating pain... this is the worst film, if it can be called that, that I have ever endured. It is awful, truly awful. It is so bad, i have created an IMDb account just to warn everyone. AVOID at all costs. By the way, i haven't included a spoiler, there isn't one. There is very little story. I still cannot believe that i sat through the whole thing.it starts off OK, well the first five minutes do. then it seems to fall off the edge of a cliff. if i had asked my 5 year old daughter to come up with a story, I think that she would have made a better job. as you may have guessed, I HATED THIS FILM. If you ignore me and watch it, I think you will hate it too.

johnhoare65 Saw this in the cinema and loved it. It defies definition... so I'll try. It's about a soul on the brink of death, being passed from body to body and experiencing other possible existences. (But I could be wrong.) Performances are understated and true (I especially liked Kate Ashfield's); individual scenes viewed in isolation play like extracts from an intelligent TV drama. However the audience has to quickly abandon any attempt to be bound by pre-conceptions of Genre: this is the ultimate genre-buster! Disconcerting at first, then unexpectedly liberating. Great performances, engrossing tale. Recommended.
