Very disappointed.......2007-09-06
Very disappointed in my purchase. The packaging was not as shown on the web site. Disks were not in a organizer as shown on the web site but in cheep protectors and thrown randomly in a red box. After some organizing, found two (?) disks were missing. Site says it is a 45 disk set, but received only 42. When vendor notified of missing disks, two replacement disks were sent and one was wrong. Still waiting for correct disks. Both had different labels and ISRC numbers from the "collectors" set. The set also did not contain the pamphlet that is shown on the web site. This can not be considered collectors set.
excellent purchase but crummy packaging .......2007-09-01
My only gripe with this purchase is the packaging. It looks nice and as previously stated - the box is attractive and the folding organization looks good.. but the actual folders that hold the $200 DVDs is really cheap and does nothing to protect this investment, which to me seems unacceptable from a $200 purchase.
So we went to Target and bought a dvd binder with zip closure to hold all the discs with the protection I expected from my $200 purchase. So. when you buy this... get something else to protect the dvds. This is kind of too bad because the box it comes in looks so nice on display, but it's empty and useless and I can't throw it away.
I love this TV show and otherwise I am very pleased with the investment. I couldn't even take off a star for the poor packaging.
Television at its best, in a compact, affordable set........2007-08-20
It took me 8 months to collect every season of the West Wing. Here it is, accessible in one tidy package.
Viewing the DVDs gives you the opportunity to catch what you have missed from the broadcast episodes.
The series is fast paced, engaging and realistic.
The characters, even the antagonists, are likable and intriguing.
You get a realistic view of the executive branch of the US government (Okay, so the current administration doesn't measure up to the Bartlet staff. But you get an idea of how they operate).
Beautiful presentation of a truly great show.......2007-08-13
I missed most of The West Wing when it was originally on TV. I liked those few bits and pieces I saw, but didn't appreciate that something far, far better than usual TV fare was being presented. When I started renting the few DVDs that were available at my local video store my family and I viewed episodes that were as good as good as feature motion pictures - and even the weakest episodes are good.
The problem was that the store had fewer than a third of all episodes. So we bit the bullet and reluctantly put out about $180, I think, for the entire series - money, as it turns out, that was extremely well spent.
The West Wing is arguably the greatest drama ever to appear on American television. This is a series I'll keep forever, and hand down to my children. It is entertaining, educational, and simply a delight to watch. At a more abstract level, TV has so much junk that it is also heartwarming to be reminded of the potential value of the medium. The West Wing is written, acted, and staged brilliantly. I can't praise it highly enough.
Forty-five DVDs - seven seasons - and about 130 episodes are neatly organized in a classy portfollio-like case. I'd like to express my deepest appreciation to the show's creator, Aaron Sorkin, who is also responsible for the movie, "The American President," and to everyone associated with the show.
The price is a bargain.
Great value.......2007-08-13
After receiving quotes at four times the Amazon price, even after settling up customs and tax in South Africa - this package is great value. My first Amazon order gets 5 stars.
The show content we are familiar with and that too gets 5*****.
Highly recommended.
Customer Reviews:
Am I the only one upset how the series ended?.......2007-08-22
ok... in few words big boxset bad individual seasons rocks...
--- You may skip these -----
First things first, individual box are a lot prettier that this Barbie like "collectors box" apparently (cause I haven't seen it other than in this pictures) there are all just booklets that looks like a 7 year old coloring book with a picture on top. personally I prefer the portraits on the dvds of every individual season rater than the color code and numeration these ones have... will i buy this box set... probably not but who knows... its a very tempting price, but since I already own the 6 separate seasons Ill probably just buy the single box set of the 7vent and last season...
---- Until Here ------
So unless the super combo set includes footage not shown in normal release of the individual seasons... I wouldn't recommend it
Now back to the title of this review... I'm very upset the way things ended in season 7... an 8th season will be too much because of the new writer's lack of creativity and you know the saying "It's better to burn out than to fade away" but still came on... ending one of the greatest series ever seen by mankind with... ... ...
I'm SURE that you already saw the ending but still i cant comment on it because the review guidelines... man...
I WANT... I NEED my:
-- In the central plaza, at a party
I love you lorelai
-I love you too Luke --Kiss with tongue and everything not you pg-13 one
-Mom I got the job at the new york times as the head editor wuujuuu
-- big happy family hug, and all the towns folk gather together... and smile to the camera.
Then they all wave to the crane camera as it pans and zooms out, fade to black... credits with a different song... kinda sad, kinda happy times, then fade to a Saturday night live style ending, every body is happy saying thanks for 7 years of companion tears in their eyes, but big smles... knowing they did a great job and a great ending to match it.
NOW thats an ending ill like to see... Am I alone here???
A tough investment indeed, but how can you say no???.......2007-07-26
As excited as I was to hear that the seventh and final season of "Gilmore Girls" will be coming to DVD on November 13--just in time for the upcoming holiday season--the fact that this deluxe full-series edition is being released on the same day is more than a little bit frustrating. As a fan who started loyally watching at the beginning of Season 6 and has quickly caught up with every episode since then, I think that this new collection--with the fancy cover art, more efficient packaging, and a slew of little extras, including a complete book of "Gilmore-isms"--will be pretty tough to pass up. Oh, but what's a Gilmore junkie to do when she has already purchased the first 6 individual seasons? Yes, unfortunately, these are the exact types of appeals that these companies present to mess with our minds and make an even larger profit. It's a pain, for sure, and yet here we all are, adoring this series and debating whether or not this investment is worth the money.
Setting all that aside, if you have not yet obtained the current DVD's and/or are thinking about introducing yourself to the magic, this might be a good opportunity to do so. As another reviewer here has already indicated, this is a genuinely unique work of art that began as a mother/daughter relationship study and gradually evolved into several layers of subtle humor, poignancy, character flaws, and imperfections that manage to never cut down on what is most important in life. The show always succeeded in maintaining a contemporary edge, but those timeless values of family and community hold up strong, and there is perhaps no series that combines it all better than "Gilmore Girls."
Most fans of the show will agree that the plot's true backbone belongs to the character of Lorelai Gilmore--a strong-willed, stubborn, occasionally selfish person whose heart is generous, sincere, and filled with everything that young people should strive for today. Getting pregnant at 16 and alienating herself from her straight-laced parents did not prevent Lorelai from creating her own life and being the best mother she could possibly be. When we meet her and her 16-year-old daughter Rory in the pilot episode, we get a glimpse of a genuinely successful young woman who works hard and provides well for her child, both physically and emotionally. As financial situations with Rory's schooling plummet Lorelai back into a world where her parents are part of her daily regime, we begin seven incredible years of bantering and conflict that any human being can relate to on some level.
As for the unforgettably bright and academically passionate Rory Gilmore, it is her and Lorelai's very connection that drew so many people into the plot in the first place. Going beyond the basic mother/daughter closeness, these two are best friends who essentially grow up together, experiencing everything from heartbreak to realizing their personal dreams. Their relationship radiates from the very beginning, and even as the superachieving Rory Gilmore grows older, heads to college and starts making her own way, you can see EXACTLY where her varying successes have stemmed. By the time she receives the payoff in the finale and tastes the glory of all her hard-fought efforts, it is not difficult to see how she got there, and for long-time viewers, that just makes it all the more heartwarming.
As I said earlier, this series has an overwhelming number of layers and would take hours to write in full detail. I could write forever, but since it's basically impossible to put everything about this show into words, I can only say that it is something of susbtance, quality, and true value for our world today. It starts out with a young woman living and enjoying life with her teenage daughter, and it deepens as a talented ensemble cast creates their warm, ideal, and welcoming town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
There's just something about it. It is an ongoing story that is sensitively told, complete with pitch-perfect acting (especially from Ms. Lauren Graham) and a solid script that is not afraid to show how these characters change, make some poor decisions, and come through it in a way that you can often admire. The messages are positive and sweet, yet even with its generous poignancy, you never feel like you are watching something too saccharine or unrealistic.
If you love this show as much as I do, then you know just what I mean, and if you haven't, then I hope you will pick up this set in November and give it a shot. The story is addictive in nature, and the writing is razor-sharp in wit during every single episode. As for this particular special edition set, well, I think I'm going to have to give in to it and continue enjoying my Gilmore Girls for years to come. It's still unknown whether or not this will include bonus features that are exclusive only to this boxed set, but either way, it's shaping up to be a pretty impressive collection that is worth the extra bucks if this is one of your all-time favorites. The 2007 holidays are coming up quickly (believe it or not), so go ahead. Save up your money, revisit the episodes, and treat yourself to a modern-day classic that certainly managed to become some of the most well-loved television of our time.
Our Little Corner of the World.......2007-07-26
I want to preface this review by saying this: I envy each and every person that will forever be able to pick up this set and experience the magic, whimsy, and zanyness of the Gilmore Girls fresh and anew for the first time.
`Gilmore Girls' which ran from 2001-2007 on the WB and CW networks is a show that is simply about a mother and daughter. But it goes so much further than that. This particular mother/daughter combo are best friends and separated in age by a mere 16 years. Yet, more than the interactions between Lorelai and her daughter Rory, typically the zany towns-people are the characters that steal the show. Their incredibly charm, matched with `the Gilmore Girls' wit, all set within the picture-perfect New England town of Stars Hollow, makes "Gilmore Girls" seem almost like a story book fantasy.
The series begins with Lorelai reluctantly starting to rebuild her relationship with her waspy high-society parents, after they agree to fund Rory's private school education. Throughout the seven seasons the audience watches as Lorelai relationship with her parents start to blossom, as well as the bond that forever strengthens between her and her own daughter, Rory. Lorelai was raised as a princess, but always hated her parents for the rules that society put upon her - hence why she ran away from home when she was 16 and pregnant. Throughout the years as well, the audience watches as Rory grows from an innocent and naïve 15-year-old girl, into a mature and seasoned 22-year-old college graduate.
It's impossible to put into words just how magical this show really is. And it is not the perpetual `chick-flick' that many write-it off as. It is infact probably one of the smartest and best written television shows to grace the small-screen in recent years. One would need several PH D.s in Popular Culture to get even 80% of the refrences that these girls throw around. And beyond that the performances of the actors makes this show something special. And, although the show started as a drama, the humor was always present and by the middle of season one the glimpses of the great comedy to come started to make themselves known.
My review my sound like a very proud grand-parent raving about their grandchild, but that shows the love I have for this magical series. I watched from the very first episode at 14 years-old with my best friend until the series finale in my apartment during my sophomore year of college (with the same friend by my side, traveling 700 miles so we could watch it together). I have loved every moment, and will buy this set in a heartbeat.
This DVD set includes all 153 episodes on 42 DVDs in their original full-frame broadcast video with Dolby Surround Sound. Special Features include a "Welcome to the Gilmore Girls" documentary, deleted scenes from select episodes, pop-culture montages, a `gilmoreism' book, commentary on "I Jump, you Jump Jack" by series creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, as well as several `behind-the-scenes' featurettes.
what if I already have the other 6 seasons?.......2007-07-21
First, the question is: are there any valuable extra only in this set?
If the answer is yes, then: is there any chance to get it without buying again the first 6 seasons?
I will miss the idea of having all the episodes in one book and all the gilmore-isms (some of them you can download from its site)
but is there any new video. I hope they give an option of having them in the last season too.

Description
Wesley Snipes (the Blade trilogy, U.S Marshals, Passenger 57) is a professional thief whose high-stakes caper goes murderously wrong in this explosive, brilliantly unpredictable crime thriller. Captain Jack Tolliver (Snipes) is an ex-Delta Force commando leading what should have ben a clockwork-perfect armored car heist. Instead, he ends up with a priceless Van Gogh painting - and one of his crew ends up held hostage by the sadistic Russian gangsters who muscled in on the heist. Tolliver's only option: a suicidal rescue mission where enemies become allies, your best friend can be your worst nightmare, and survival is deadliest art of all.

Rubbish.......2007-06-27
I have seen all Wesley Snipes films but this film was a load of rubbish, I would have thought his acting skills was above this but he looked like a second rate actor
"7 Seconds" Starts Promisingly, Then Runs out of Gas Soon.......2007-04-02
The latest heist by a professional thief and his team goes terribly awry, and the organizer of the flawless plans gets more than what he bargained for. Agents and mobsters chase him, but he keeps cool under pressure, frustrates other party's plans and can always extricate himself from the mire. This is a standard story format for action film. It looks clichéd and predictable, but it works well with good rhythm in action and sure-handed guidance from the director. But "7 Seconds" doesn't have them.
Wesley Snipes plays the thief named Jack. Jack's failed robbery in Bucharest, Rumania, lands him in a fresh trouble because his girlfriend/partner-in-crime is kidnapped during the shoot-outs. He takes hostage a NATO military cop (Tamzin Outhwaite sporting her British accent) after the mayhem (and saving her life too), and engages in urban car chase with familiar settings. The story doesn't make much sense (why steal the money of casinos in Rumania?), but the earlier part of "7 Seconds" is fun with decent car stunts and a little bit of humor. The actions are confusing, and you don't know where these wildly running cars are going, but at least the stunts themselves are not bad.
Then in the film's middle section tedium settles in, which stops the actions and starts to introduce superfluous characters, plus an unnecessary plot twist or two. We don't need to see Wesley Snipes walking in the station and putting a brief case in the coin locker there. Or actually we don't care what the briefcase really contains at all; and we don't even want to know whether something in it (whatever it is) is real or not. We want thrill and action, or funny dialogues. Except for some brief martial arts stunts and mildly amusing banter between Snipes and Outhwaite, "7 Seconds" doesn't have much to show, particularly in its second part, where the film has another car stunt sequence involving street cars, but it is marred by choppy editing.
We often hear complaint or criticism about direct-to-video films, but actually some of them are pretty good, offering diverting 90 minutes like the films of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. Unfortunately, for all the fairly good acting from the stars, Wesley Snipes' "7 Seconds" is not one of them.
Wesley still has a kick or two left in him!!!.......2007-01-04
I've been a big fan of Wesley Snipes for the last fifteen years, since his film, Passenger 57. When I saw Wesley in that movie, using his martial arts skills for the first time, I thought to myself that this guy fights just like the late Bruce Lee. After that I followed every action movie that he did just so I could watch him do his martial arts. Of course, his "Blade" trilogy series is perhaps the most memorable of all the films that he's done. The role of Blade fits Wesley like a tight glove, plus it gives him the opportunity to really go all out with his martial arts. Since 2004 and Blade: Trinity, Wesley has opted to do films based in Europe. Why? I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the money that the IRS claims he owes in back taxes. Whatever the reason for this decision, it certainly has affected the quality of his films. In fact, they've pretty much gone down hill in a similar vein as those done by Steven Seagal. The only redeeming quality of Wesley's European movies is that he still does his own martial arts and can still kick ass in a big way.
In 7 Seconds, Wesley Snipes plays Jack Tolliver, who used to be with Delta Force. Due to a physical confrontation with his commander after a number of his men are killed, Tolliver ends up spending four years in prison. When he gets out, Tolliver decides to use his unique skills in the Romanian criminal underworld and plans a special heist down to the last second that will net he and his gang twenty million dollars. Everything goes perfectly, until the very end when his operation is betrayed from the inside so that the Russian gangsters can get their hands on an authentic Van Gogh painting, worth over sixty-five million dollars. Almost all of Tolliver's crew is murdered. Though his girlfriend is taken hostage, he manages to escape with a metal case that has the painting in it. Tolliver, however, doesn't know what's in the mysterious case. He inadvertently runs into Sergeant Kelly Anders (played by Tamzin Outhwaite), who's with the Military Police at the nearby NATO Air Force Base, while he's being chased by the police and the Russian mafia. He keeps her from being shot and then uses her car to elude the people that are after him. As the movie progresses, Tolliver will find himself alone and forced to turn to Anders for help, who now has her own problems to deal with. Together, they will take on the Russian mafia and try to rescue Tolliver's girlfriend.
I honestly didn't think that the movie made a lot of sense. I got confused at the beginning of the film when the heist of the casino money and the three armored trucks supposedly takes place. I wasn't following what was happening, and it looked like someone had screwed up with the planning and the intelligence on how the doors to the trucks were to be opened. Then, after Kelly Anders is basically kidnapped and her car wrecked, the Romanian police accuse her of being Tolliver's accomplice. Even her own people seem to have their doubts as to her innocence. That just didn't ring true to me. We also have the owner of the Van Gogh painting and the head of the Russian mafia (he has Parkinson's Disease and shakes all of the time) who seem to want the painting back for insurance purposes. When the Russians have Tolliver at their mercy and torture him and his girlfriend to find out where the painting is at, they forget to check his pockets for the key to the locker at the Bus Terminal, or is it the Plane Terminal, and then they allow him to take them to the locker. How stupid can you be? Cut off some fingers and some toes. He'll talk. Whatever you do, don't let him loose, or else he'll come back and kill you. The two car chases in the movie were so-so. It's difficult to make the cars appear as if they're going fast when they're small and running on four cylinders. The highlight of the movie is getting to watch Wesley Snipes do his martial arts. He's probably the best film fighter in the movies today. I'm always impressed with his hands and kicks, and the way he uses his knees and elbows to block and attack. That's really the only reason to watch an action thriller with Snipes in it, unless it's one of the "Blade" movies. Though 7 Seconds isn't the worse movie I've seen during the past year, it still could've been a lot better. The script could've been better, the acting, the stunts, the photography, and the directing. This is why the movie went straight to video here in the States. Come on, Wesley, we need another "Blade" movie before you get too old to do them!
Disapointing Action Movie.......2006-06-09
I really like Wesley Snipes and I really like action movies. This movie disappointed on both accounts. I had to wonder what Snipes was thinking in doing this film. I still think he is a great actor and could draw people into theaters, so why do a straight-to-video movie. Truthfully I didn't even read the cover before renting it because it was Wesley Snipes but even if I did I would have still rented it.
The movie starts out ok with a really ingenious armored car heist, which of course goes bad and turns into a pretty neat car chase. After that, the movie seems to fizzle out.
There is not much dialogue and I think the writers put more effort into the heist than the rest of the film. The acting is pretty bad all around, although I think Snipes did what he could with what he as given.
The directing is frazzled and just plain weird. I didn't like it much at all. I think the director was trying to add action to the film by his style of directing but to me it just made things worse.
Given the right attention, this movie could have been great but I get the feeling everyone just wanted to get it released as soon as they could. It has potential, but in my opinion, everyone involved in it just fell flat.
I had trouble getting through the whole thing. If you are a die hard Snipes fan then you might want to rent it, but I don't give any guarantees as to whether you will like it or not. It just might be worth renting simply to see the beginning because the heist is definitely one of the most intelligent and ingenious I have ever seen.
Don't expect much and marvel at the heist and you just might not feel like you've wasted your time watching it. Only buy it if you are an avid fan who must have a copy of every movie your favorite actor has made regardless of how good they are.
Not What I Excepted.......2006-02-25
While I watched this movie, it came to mind that it was not like the other Wesley Snipes movies. I know they can't all be alike, understand now, it was not a bad movie just wasn't what I excepted from him.

A sitcom behemoth of the last 10 years, Friends shot out of the gate in 1994 with snappy writing and an attractive cast. The exploits of sensitive paleontologist Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), his obsessive-compulsive sister Monica Geller (Courteney Cox); Monica's roommate Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), a spoiled rich girl trying to live on her own; earthy aromatherapist/masseuse Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow); and Monica's neighbors across the hall-- sarcastic Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and his dim-bulb roommate Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) became a nationwide obsession, a pop-culture icon (remember "The Rachel" haircut?) and a top Nielsen hit for its entire run.

10 or more seasons club . |

the other characters eventually moved from sideshow players into a shared comedic lead. But Friends was not without its heart. Most of the cast had dysfunctional relationships with their parents and went through loss, divorce, marriage, parenthood, and love triangles. The emotional pregnancies of Rachel (by Ross) and Phoebe (surrogate to her half-brother's triplets) won the actresses Emmy Awards, and Joey's tender feelings for Rachel in Season 8 won LeBlanc, the most improved actor in the series, a nomination.
Most sitcoms run out of ideas by the fifth season, but Friends gave itself a refreshing jolt the minute Monica and Chandler wound up in bed together. Their budding romance was not only the one of the funniest arcs of the series, but one of the most sentimental, as they planned a wedding, struggled to have a child and eventually turned to adoption. By seasons seven and on, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs.

Friends featured a parade of celebrity guests, but unlike Will & Grace, it actually utilized most of the stars as more than cameos: The sextet's parents were all brilliantly cast, particularly Kathleen Turner as Chandler's drag-queen father and Teri Garr as Phoebe's dizzy mom. Everyone from George Clooney to Sean Penn to Julia Roberts to Bruce Willis has appeared on the sitcom, and Tom Selleck certainly enjoyed a career resuscitation after his recurring role as Monica's older man.
But no star power ever penetrated the bond between the six stars, and their unmatchable chemistry worked for 10 seasons. Even if the show is on reruns daily, this boxed set of Friends remains watchable over and over again--even if that theme song grates on your nerves.
Standout episodes include The One With All The Poker (Season 1), The One With The Birth (1), The One With the Prom Video (2), The One With the Flashback (3), The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends (3), The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break (3), The One With the Embryos (4), The One With All the Wedding Dresses (4), The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (5), The One Where Everybody Finds Out (5), The One Where Ross Got High (6), The One With the Videotape (8), The One With the Rumor (8), The One With the Male Nanny (9), The One With Rachel's Other Sister (9), The One With Ross' Tan (10), and The One Where the Stripper Cries (10). --Ellen A.

A very good series. Ten beautiful years of great comedy and drama. It is a definite classic.
Friends Full Set.......2007-04-29
This item rocked! Not only was it cheap, it came in a fantastic and unique case compared to other sets!! So colorful!! I still haven't had the time to watch them all... I'm only on season 3! That's why I got the set though because eventually I will have the time, and I can always watch my favorite episodes over and over again!. I even have the script from "The one with Joey's Bag" and I can't wait to watch the episode with the script in hand!
stuff.......2007-03-27
Everything about this set was amazing until I got to the Bonus Features...had audio, but no video. I had not realized that this was an Asian version that would not play on U.S. devices. The seller was very agreeable to refunding the returned product...thank you! I would deffinitely buy from this seller again.
Love it!.......2007-03-24
What a classic show. The box is beautiful as well, real wood with plexiglass door on front. A little tough to get the seasons out of the box though, not a lot of height from top of season box to top of holder box, but hey, small price to pay for all 10 seasons in one place.
Whole 10 seasons.......2007-01-13
This is the most satisfying item I ever bought online. Came in a package of more than what I expected. It is just fabulous. What can I say, it is the BEST. I recommend Friends fans to get one and others to get it and add to your DVD collection. The packaging and quality of DVDs are extremely good. This is a "must have" for your collection.

Amazing TV.......2007-07-22
This show is one of the best ever. Brilliant writing and incredible cast work. The stories are real and intense, seemingly every episode outdoes the previous one. Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle and Noah Wyle are all amazing in their roles, even as the original cast diminishes, the new members do great at keeping the feeling and intensity of the show alive. I wish I would have watched this show from the beginning but I'm glad I can relive it on DVD, can't wait for season 8!
For $200 dollars, you get nothing........2007-06-21
Seven seasons of bad acting, terrible scripts, a cast who are clueless when it comes to performing, and plots that are better done on General Hospital.

Rubbish.......2007-06-27
I have seen all Wesley Snipes films but this film was a load of rubbish, I would have thought his acting skills was above this but he looked like a second rate actor
"7 Seconds" Starts Promisingly, Then Runs out of Gas Soon.......2007-04-02
The latest heist by a professional thief and his team goes terribly awry, and the organizer of the flawless plans gets more than what he bargained for. Agents and mobsters chase him, but he keeps cool under pressure, frustrates other party's plans and can always extricate himself from the mire. This is a standard story format for action film. It looks clichéd and predictable, but it works well with good rhythm in action and sure-handed guidance from the director. But "7 Seconds" doesn't have them.
Wesley Snipes plays the thief named Jack. Jack's failed robbery in Bucharest, Rumania, lands him in a fresh trouble because his girlfriend/partner-in-crime is kidnapped during the shoot-outs. He takes hostage a NATO military cop (Tamzin Outhwaite sporting her British accent) after the mayhem (and saving her life too), and engages in urban car chase with familiar settings. The story doesn't make much sense (why steal the money of casinos in Rumania?), but the earlier part of "7 Seconds" is fun with decent car stunts and a little bit of humor. The actions are confusing, and you don't know where these wildly running cars are going, but at least the stunts themselves are not bad.
Then in the film's middle section tedium settles in, which stops the actions and starts to introduce superfluous characters, plus an unnecessary plot twist or two. We don't need to see Wesley Snipes walking in the station and putting a brief case in the coin locker there. Or actually we don't care what the briefcase really contains at all; and we don't even want to know whether something in it (whatever it is) is real or not. We want thrill and action, or funny dialogues. Except for some brief martial arts stunts and mildly amusing banter between Snipes and Outhwaite, "7 Seconds" doesn't have much to show, particularly in its second part, where the film has another car stunt sequence involving street cars, but it is marred by choppy editing.
We often hear complaint or criticism about direct-to-video films, but actually some of them are pretty good, offering diverting 90 minutes like the films of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. Unfortunately, for all the fairly good acting from the stars, Wesley Snipes' "7 Seconds" is not one of them.
Wesley still has a kick or two left in him!!!.......2007-01-04
I've been a big fan of Wesley Snipes for the last fifteen years, since his film, Passenger 57. When I saw Wesley in that movie, using his martial arts skills for the first time, I thought to myself that this guy fights just like the late Bruce Lee. After that I followed every action movie that he did just so I could watch him do his martial arts. Of course, his "Blade" trilogy series is perhaps the most memorable of all the films that he's done. The role of Blade fits Wesley like a tight glove, plus it gives him the opportunity to really go all out with his martial arts. Since 2004 and Blade: Trinity, Wesley has opted to do films based in Europe. Why? I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the money that the IRS claims he owes in back taxes. Whatever the reason for this decision, it certainly has affected the quality of his films. In fact, they've pretty much gone down hill in a similar vein as those done by Steven Seagal. The only redeeming quality of Wesley's European movies is that he still does his own martial arts and can still kick ass in a big way.
In 7 Seconds, Wesley Snipes plays Jack Tolliver, who used to be with Delta Force. Due to a physical confrontation with his commander after a number of his men are killed, Tolliver ends up spending four years in prison. When he gets out, Tolliver decides to use his unique skills in the Romanian criminal underworld and plans a special heist down to the last second that will net he and his gang twenty million dollars. Everything goes perfectly, until the very end when his operation is betrayed from the inside so that the Russian gangsters can get their hands on an authentic Van Gogh painting, worth over sixty-five million dollars. Almost all of Tolliver's crew is murdered. Though his girlfriend is taken hostage, he manages to escape with a metal case that has the painting in it. Tolliver, however, doesn't know what's in the mysterious case. He inadvertently runs into Sergeant Kelly Anders (played by Tamzin Outhwaite), who's with the Military Police at the nearby NATO Air Force Base, while he's being chased by the police and the Russian mafia. He keeps her from being shot and then uses her car to elude the people that are after him. As the movie progresses, Tolliver will find himself alone and forced to turn to Anders for help, who now has her own problems to deal with. Together, they will take on the Russian mafia and try to rescue Tolliver's girlfriend.
I honestly didn't think that the movie made a lot of sense. I got confused at the beginning of the film when the heist of the casino money and the three armored trucks supposedly takes place. I wasn't following what was happening, and it looked like someone had screwed up with the planning and the intelligence on how the doors to the trucks were to be opened. Then, after Kelly Anders is basically kidnapped and her car wrecked, the Romanian police accuse her of being Tolliver's accomplice. Even her own people seem to have their doubts as to her innocence. That just didn't ring true to me. We also have the owner of the Van Gogh painting and the head of the Russian mafia (he has Parkinson's Disease and shakes all of the time) who seem to want the painting back for insurance purposes. When the Russians have Tolliver at their mercy and torture him and his girlfriend to find out where the painting is at, they forget to check his pockets for the key to the locker at the Bus Terminal, or is it the Plane Terminal, and then they allow him to take them to the locker. How stupid can you be? Cut off some fingers and some toes. He'll talk. Whatever you do, don't let him loose, or else he'll come back and kill you. The two car chases in the movie were so-so. It's difficult to make the cars appear as if they're going fast when they're small and running on four cylinders. The highlight of the movie is getting to watch Wesley Snipes do his martial arts. He's probably the best film fighter in the movies today. I'm always impressed with his hands and kicks, and the way he uses his knees and elbows to block and attack. That's really the only reason to watch an action thriller with Snipes in it, unless it's one of the "Blade" movies. Though 7 Seconds isn't the worse movie I've seen during the past year, it still could've been a lot better. The script could've been better, the acting, the stunts, the photography, and the directing. This is why the movie went straight to video here in the States. Come on, Wesley, we need another "Blade" movie before you get too old to do them!
Disapointing Action Movie.......2006-06-09
I really like Wesley Snipes and I really like action movies. This movie disappointed on both accounts. I had to wonder what Snipes was thinking in doing this film. I still think he is a great actor and could draw people into theaters, so why do a straight-to-video movie. Truthfully I didn't even read the cover before renting it because it was Wesley Snipes but even if I did I would have still rented it.
The movie starts out ok with a really ingenious armored car heist, which of course goes bad and turns into a pretty neat car chase. After that, the movie seems to fizzle out.
There is not much dialogue and I think the writers put more effort into the heist than the rest of the film. The acting is pretty bad all around, although I think Snipes did what he could with what he as given.
The directing is frazzled and just plain weird. I didn't like it much at all. I think the director was trying to add action to the film by his style of directing but to me it just made things worse.
Given the right attention, this movie could have been great but I get the feeling everyone just wanted to get it released as soon as they could. It has potential, but in my opinion, everyone involved in it just fell flat.
I had trouble getting through the whole thing. If you are a die hard Snipes fan then you might want to rent it, but I don't give any guarantees as to whether you will like it or not. It just might be worth renting simply to see the beginning because the heist is definitely one of the most intelligent and ingenious I have ever seen.
Don't expect much and marvel at the heist and you just might not feel like you've wasted your time watching it. Only buy it if you are an avid fan who must have a copy of every movie your favorite actor has made regardless of how good they are.
Not What I Excepted.......2006-02-25
While I watched this movie, it came to mind that it was not like the other Wesley Snipes movies. I know they can't all be alike, understand now, it was not a bad movie just wasn't what I excepted from him.
