A little too slick to be a classic, "Unit 7" comes off more as a violent autograph session than a tragic cop drama. Go to Full Review

Finally. 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. Go to Full Review

06/18/2014 Overall 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. See more 12/24/2013 "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. See more 10/17/2013 in Spanish.Sub titles. See more @Ollie1972 09/30/2013 Unit 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. See more 09/16/2013 Intensa y aveces cruda, muy buena calidad sin nada que envidiar a Hollywood. Directo al grano como suelen ser los Españoles sin tanta cursileria jajajajaja.
