Aaron Hillis Village Voice 04/16/2012
Flatly shot and lit like a cable-TV movie, with a mismatched Franken-score of flowery flourishes and suspense-feigning propulsion, On the 7th Day sadly contains some fine, earnest acting... Go to Full Review
Wesley Morris Boston Globe 04/16/2012
1/4
This overplotted, underwritten, powerfully dumb soap-thriller has more professionalism than it deserves. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/16/2012
This tawdry, faith-based kidnapping melodrama has a lot to atone for. Go to Full Review

2/4
As hard as the cast works in turning in solid performances, they fight a losing battle against the largely uninspired story. Go to Full Review
Ann Lewinson Boston Phoenix 04/13/2012
Perhaps director Neema Barnette was hired to insulate the movie from charges of misogyny; in the end, On the 7th Day is not about women being "loosed" from the past, but tying those bonds a whole lot tighter. Go to Full Review

Cee B Aug 14 Talented cast, took too long to get to the point. Blair Underwood is deliciously good at being intense. Setting in New Orleans was a plus! See more 10/18/2013 If it weren't for the acting... Wow! I haven't seen a film this bad in a REALLY, REALLY long time. :0/ The writing and cinematography KILLED this movie. If it weren't for the acting, in particular my recent obsession with Nicole Beharie, I would've stopped watching this movie about 30 minutes in. I actually fell asleep on it and had to restart it and finish it the next morning. Decent idea/concept, terrible execution in writing. Pam Grier's performance was very disappointing. If it weren't for the obvious ways they inserted New Orleans into the film (I recognized my alma mater (XU) instantly & other locations) I wouldn't have known the setting. The accents were so disturbingly terrible! The story & plot was very flat. You see the ending coming about 15 minutes in. A poorly written, decently directed, actor-carried film that probably never should have been made. The most exciting thing about this film aside from Nicole Beharie's performance was seeing my alma mater. -__- Sad. See more 03/25/2013 I loved it it kept me on my toes the whole time See more 01/19/2013 Very enjoyable movie. And I am biased because Blair Underwood is one of my "TV Boos". But even with that bias this was still a really good movie. I'd recommend it! See more 01/16/2013 I seen it on cable it is good See more 12/31/2012 Melodramatic and contrived. It could have been so much better had it not been so dumb. A good cast is victim to a poor script. See more Read all reviews
