1. Every time one of the commandos is incredibly inept, have a shot.
2. Every time one of the siblings has better luck than Domino (from deadpool 2) have a shot.
3. Every time the CAB forgets the tech they used in a previous scene, have a shot.I'm one hour in, and if I were playing this game, I'd probably be dead.Like, seriously, the world is overpopulated, overlord government agencies would have the pick of the litter, why are all the shutins living on 1/7th the resources using better tech than the government, out fighting commandos, and surviving 4 story falls into empty dumpsters? Seriously, the overlords should just clone these siblings and use them as their murdersquads.This writing is trash, bring a six pack and a friend, and have a good time making fun of it while you watch it. I don't get the 1s and 10s in the reviews here, this is a solid 6 effort if you approach it like a comedy rather than a serious suspense scifi dystopia it seems to have been trying to do.

In a future where overpopulation is the major threat to civilization, having more than one child is a major crime against humanity. To enforce that CAB, Child Allocation Bureau, starts to hunt all and every sibling around. Siblings are processed in CAB's headquarters, and CAB quickly takes the form of a oppressing agency that stands above the law. In this world Terrence Settman secretely raises his seven grandchildren, all identical girls, that his daughter left after dying at birth. He names them for the weekdays, and when they get old enough they can only go outside on their day. One day Monday doesn't come home.A good thriller with quite a bit of action and sci-fi in it. And to be honest, some pretty gory and gruesome moments. There are several twists and turns in a pretty good plot. The premise is interesting, even if not really worked through. Some of the twists are quite obvious and easy to predict. Others are harder to guess, foremost what really happened to Monday, and that is what carries the suspense throughout the movie. Because, even though there are some errors, this is a good thriller.Noomi Rapace acts very well against her self. I honestly didn't feel her acting against six copies of herself stuttered or forced anytime. They interacted as if there really were seven siblings there. The other bid names, Close and Defoe, has just small parts actually. And even if they act well, as always, they don't contribute to the important parts.8/10

Noomi Rapace must be the female equivalent to Taylor Kitsch. Every film she appears in is an unqualified near miss after first braking out as Lisbeth Salander in the original Girl w/The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. From Prometheus to Passion she's hooking up w/the right talent, Ridley Scott & Brian DiPalma to name a couple, but something happens when whatever sparked interest in said project gets warped traveling from the printed word to the filmed final result. I wish Monday would be the cure here but alas it ain't. Starting off as an interesting possible double bill to the excellent scifi'r Children of Men, this dreck devolves into the empty action set pieces of the Total Recall remake. People love sci-fi but that sci-fi has to be good. Some quirky car & set design can only go so far.

It's rare I find myself wanting to leave a raving review halfway through a movie, but I did with this one (I made myself wait until it finished, and even after a few days I'm still thinking about this brilliant movie, so here I am haha). The brief write-up offered on my satellite tv box said it was about 7 girls trying to survive in a one-child per family world, it was a sci-fi/thriller, and that was it. But I'm SO glad I watched it! Just annoyed I watched it alone!The film was surprisingly more action-packed than I thought it would manage to be, and the actress playing all of the girls did a brilliant job, so did the younger actress. The twists were surprising. I found myself immersed in the film right from the start, and even when you have that moment "they said the title of the movie!" it quickly passes because you don't want to miss what they're saying. The jumping from present time to past was stitched together well, not jarring at all, and explained enough without making the viewer feel stupid or it was overdone. The intro explains enough and sets the scene well without dragging it on, just getting on with the story - loved that.Seeing the technology they used wasn't that far fetched considering how fast our technology is advancing these days. It was creepy in that sense.I suggest you watch it. Ignore the bad reviews, just go into it expecting nothing and you'll be blown away. Very well done film, ended up upping my rating from 9 stars to 10/10.
