7 Boxes

The movie is so great and very exciting!

An amazing film from Paraguay. Takes place in a huge (real) market over the course of about 24 hours. Story of a young man and a girl 'friend' who gets put in charge of 7 crates of ?? He's to move them around the market until the police lose interest in the shop they were stored in. To say that complications arise is to underestimate their contents or the number of characters (whom we meet and enjoy) who want a peek inside. The only film in my acquaintance that features a push-cart chase. Funny, fun, exciting, and satisfying.

This movie does an excellent job of portraying the life of the poor in the capital city of Asuncion Paraguay. I lived in Paraguay and worked there, and this movie presents a meaningful and deep insight into the lives of those on the margins of society. Filmed at Mercado 4 marketplace, a crazy typical open air third world market, the actions and characters capture the type of life lived by those in that economic group. I would highly recommend this movie for its actions, its main actor who was cast from actual Paraguayans who live in this environment, its reality and drama.

Funny, sad, romantic and clever, done with little money and lots of ideas. The movie is shot in the "mercado cuatro", a lively but poor area in Asuncion. I was there once and lost my mobile phone just before taking the plane back to Europe. I was very upset but still hoped somebody would find it and contact me. Then during the flight I watched this movie which, funny enough, is about all the misadventures that this teenager goes through to get his first mobile phone. It helped me to come to terms with the loss...

If you have ever been to Paraguay, you will recognize and understand. If you have not, I hope you will be fascinated. Either way, this is great cinematic art!

Fast and fun. You won't see Hollywood producing this movie so enjoy it before it's lost in the foreign movie abyss.

The best Paraguayan film ever made! I loved hearing the people speak both Spanish and Guarani. I've been to the Mercado Cuatro during the day and experienced first-hand the hustle-bustle and organized chaos, especially all the wheelbarrow guys. This movie captures all that frenzy. The story held my interest from start to finish, and unlike a lot of Hollywood films, it was totally unpredictable. I've watched it a couple times now and like it every time.

Not only is the premise of the plot dubious and ridiculous, but the script is weak and the acting is weaker. This is touted as a "thriller" but the pace is so pedantic it is hard to remain awake, let alone interested. The cast's fascination with a cell phone that has an integrated camera is a hard sell and the concept of young people chasing each other through a crowded market place while pushing (empty) wheelbarrows is just plain ridiculous.Don't waste your time or your money on this total stinker. Take a nap instead; you'll be much more satisfied.

on a plaisir à voir ce film policier paraguayen; c'est le style Amérique de sud qui change les codes des films européens ou américains; l'histoire est bien menée et devient effrayante au fur et à mesure des avancées policières

Ce film est surprenant et montre un monde que nous ne connaissons pas. L'intrigue est amusante, avec de nombreux rebondissements inattendus.

Un beau navet sans histoire, acteurs bas de gamme, éteint au bout de 20min, puis dvd à la poubelle!
