At some point I could no longer watch Canada made movies as being low budget boring filler.
I am glad I did not spot Canada mark on the title when I was ordering a copy with Zip.ca.
Although it does have some low budget look - there is nothing low budget in acting, shooting or directing. Superb crime drama with a good doze of a black humor.Like Snatch but without the action - Naveed23
7 Times Lucky is they type of film made popular by such films as Snatch, Matchstick Men, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Sting. The major difference with those films and this one is action, a sense of urgency and/or a sense of connection to the characters. the film tries to be gritty at times but ends up being kind of depressing and somewhat predictable. perhaps i have seen to many of these films but i predicted most of the surprise ending before it happeed.Lucky Liane - PopGun_Edwards
Liane Balaban is the true star of this highly stylish film. As she does in New Waterford Girl, Balaban steals the show and demonstrates her true versatality as an actress. I hope more stellar roles like this will come her way soon. The film itself is a Canadian twist on the mob genre. It's difficult to tell if the film is set in the 1960's or in the present, and the dark lighting throughout inspires the perfect mood. Well done.
