    ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
    ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
    Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
    Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
    Jim de Graff I've always enjoyed time travel shows from Time Tunnel to Quantum Leap. Seven Days has a good mix of drama, comedy and action, however, at times the writing just gets plain lazy. Take, for example, the episode, The Football. Are we to believe that the man carrying the device which must not leave the president's side could just be left behind by the president and the Secret Service? Are we also to believe that the person given the responsibility to carry that device would choose a) to take a cab and b) to walk the streets with it when the cab breaks down? Whenever Frank makes a back step, the first word out of his mouth is "conundrum". This is done to ensure the listener's complete attention and cooperation. Yet, when he tries to tell Olga about the problem he can only mutter, "you have to listen to me" while she hangs up (twice). To further insult my intelligence, a gorilla can randomly punch the keys and get lucky with the correct combination, then, when faced with global destruction, Frank chooses to woo the gorilla rather than killing it. After all, killing a gorilla to prevent the death of billions of humans (and of course, that same gorilla) would just be cruel.Let's not forget to mention that the security at this top secret location is so lax that Frank can escape armed only with a pair of bolt cutters. And why does Ramsey still consider Frank a screw-up after he has succeeded in every mission he has taken? The show is mostly entertaining but I can see why it was cancelled.
    miki_lane I have more a question instead of a comment on the "Seven Days" series. I haven't watched all of the episodes so the answer to my question may have already been given out in the pilot episode. If Parker travels back in time, is there an extra Parker (in the time line) for each mission that is carried out? I mean after the first mission you will have two Parkers in the same time line? Not to mention additional time machines, Storage if the extra machines will be a problem too. You can only keep so many Parkers locked up in the mental ward...Or does he get to fly back secretly to his own time line when no one is watching. Other wise the story line is not so bad.
    premier69 Well I don't know what to say, except for: I guess I've gone against the mainstream again... No one else seems to have quite appreciated this series for what it deserves.It's probably for the best they did not make more episode than they did. They where at the peak of quality sci-fi. What was made was great! I feel lucky I managed to catch this series here in Sweden. I can only say that this is a true jewel in my collection, and that if you ever find any of these episodes see them!
    rachel_lb Usually, I'm not a big fan of science fiction. But when I heard Jonathan LaPaglia was getting his own series, I just had to check it out. I was not disappointed. "7 Days" was an awesome mix of sci-fi, action, drama, suspense, and dark comedy. Frank B. Parker, the Chrononaut (aka time traveler), was a mischief-maker and had a lot of emotional and mental problems. But deep inside he was a good guy -- he did the right thing by saving the country (sometimes even the world) because it was his job and honor to do it.I wish UPN had given this show a better chance, rather than shuffling it around and taking it for granted. I miss it, but I'll always be thankful I watched it.
