Les 7 jours du Talion






Nothing more great in a man's life than his wife/Partner and their children but what if one day you go to work as normal, you return home after an uneventful day and you find you wife and 8 year old daughter lying dead after been raped and murdered. This would drive any father/husband insane and this is the basis of this French Canadian movie "Les 7 jours du Talion" (7days).
Claude Legault plays Bruno Hamel the husband /Father is seeks vengence in his own darkened revenge and as his world is following apart around him he goes out to hunt down the murderer so he could dish out retribution. After great preperation Claude captures the killer, sends a messege to the police that he has the rapist and killer of his wife&daughter  and he's going to torture and kill him within 7 days.
This movie is based on a book by Patrick Senécal who also wrote the screenplay and this has many similarties to Gerard Butler/Jamie Foxx's new upcoming movie Law Abiding Citizen who also plays a vengeful husband/father (I wonder if this book inspired that film?mmm?).

Martin Dubreuil, Fanny Mallette, Rémy Girard, Pascale Delhaes, and Rose-Marie Coallier also star in the movie. Thanks to QuietEarth for the trailer.
