Svaniti nella notte

I dont understand why anabelle wallis's voice was dubbed in this. But anyway septimo or vanished in to the night is a new italian netflix film. A husband and wife are in the middle of a custody battle. The kids dont seem to know or care really. They go to staty with their father. The place is being renivated and mistake number one they are sleeping in a seperate building to hime and surprisingly the kids go missing, while getting them back he has to do a deal with a guy. He drops cock in the street and no one even seems to stop him for somereason. Acting not bad but a lot of things dont make sense in this.

It delivers just some of thrills, when the lead actor embarks on a dark journey into the criminal underworld to retrieve his missing children. A parent's love is a great engine to get audiences on board with a thriller. There is plenty of thrillers letting the audience follow the story of a parental figure trying to keep their kid safe in a worst-case scenario. This one is not a particularly interesting movie, just still worth watching for fans of this type of light thrillers, it does provide the escapist entertainment it sets out to deliver. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece that does something brand-new; sometimes, it's good enough to just deliver the goods in a popular gen and it doesn't seem so good acted either.

"Disappointingly Tedious" aptly describes my experience with this film. From the onset, the movie struggles to establish any meaningful connection with its audience, burdened by shallow characters who lack depth and development. Despite the potential for intriguing arcs, each character remains one-dimensional, offering no real investment or empathy from viewers.

The storyline, intended to be the film's backbone, is weak and riddled with clichés. It meanders aimlessly, lacking the cohesive narrative needed to drive the plot forward. Key plot points feel forced, and subplots are either underdeveloped or abruptly abandoned, leaving a disjointed mess that fails to engage or excite.

As if the tedious progression wasn't enough, the movie culminates in a weird and unsatisfying ending. Rather than tying up loose ends or providing a thought-provoking conclusion, the finale feels rushed and poorly executed, raising more questions than it answers. It's as if the filmmakers themselves lost interest in the story they were telling.

In summary, this film is a disappointment on multiple fronts. With shallow characters, a weak story, and a bizarre ending, it's a tedious watch that fails to deliver on any of its promises. Save your time and skip this one.

The movie could have been quite good, but there are so many things that happened which stayed unexplained. What's the reason for their divorce? Why his wife didn't ask for the custody without setting him up? When she took the kids in the middle of the night she gave them the injections they didn't feel? Then Pietro, he didn't hear the car coming at night in the middle of nowhere? He left the boat to the police officer just like that?! He didn't close the bag full of packages letting them fall on the street? Why did he actually fight with Nicola? There are too many questions and zero answers. Nothing in the story had developed, including the ending....

First the Netflix description (at least in the U. S.) is somewhat misleading. It implies a grieving dad revenge actioner or mystery in the mold of Taken or The Postcard Killings. It isn't, it's more of a slow burn thriller focused on the interpersonal drama of a small cast of characters.

Even once you realize that and temper your expectations, the movie's not particularly interesting. None of the characters is sympathetic enough for you to care what happens to them. Without any character investment there's no real sense of threat or danger.

The big twist doesn't get enough time to breathe. It's introduced, it's perplexing for a moment, and then it's resolved right away. The movie's technically competent and decently performed but it fails to sustain any suspense or tension.
