Really Surprised!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

View MoreIn a world mixed with reality and fantasy, where one would question systems and laws, this movie takes place. And what a better way to demonize the communist one-child policy than weaving it in a gloomy story where 7 female siblings have to hide their existence forever. I have to say that the story of this movie is unique, for it invokes your sympathy with the 7 identical siblings. The fact that you must hide all your life with no real identity, and are only allowed to go out once a week on the day you're named after, is pretty painful and depressing. Noomi Rapace's performance was incredible. It reminds me of the talents of Uma Therman in 'Kill Bill' and Sigourney Weaver in her epic days. The movie raises an indirect question. Is it true that love can conquer everything? We see that the CAB officer gets attached to one of the siblings, that's Saturday. Although we didn't see enough of what urges him to risk his life in order to save her, he defies everything for her. Perhaps it proves that love is blind. It sure is in this case. I recommend this movie for you. Enjoy!
View MoreNoomi Rapace must be the female equivalent to Taylor Kitsch. Every film she appears in is an unqualified near miss after first braking out as Lisbeth Salander in the original Girl w/The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. From Prometheus to Passion she's hooking up w/the right talent, Ridley Scott & Brian DiPalma to name a couple, but something happens when whatever sparked interest in said project gets warped traveling from the printed word to the filmed final result. I wish Monday would be the cure here but alas it ain't. Starting off as an interesting possible double bill to the excellent scifi'r Children of Men, this dreck devolves into the empty action set pieces of the Total Recall remake. People love sci-fi but that sci-fi has to be good. Some quirky car & set design can only go so far.
View MoreI like the way she acts 7 sisters. It's mind blowing. The story is fun to watch too . I m from china ,I was the first generation of one Child policy . I didn't have any siblings to grew up with so I know what it feels like. And thx god Chinese government stopped the policy.
View MoreI really enjoyed this movie. I must admit I was a little hesitant at first to watch it as I thought it would be to political and boring but it was anything but.The idea of limiting the amount of children people can have is a clever idea and makes the movie more believable as you can imagine this happening in real life.The movie was well acted and well directed with some good tense scenes like the characters going through check points etc and some clever plot tactics like sending you off in one direction while it goes another way making it hard to see the final plot. The effects were also excellent with great action scenes and some tense stand-offsThis has to be one of the better sci-fi movies I have seen in a while with a clever well written plot which is also original and great characters. There were some holes in the plot though which did leave me confused but a great movie and worth a watch
