7 Boxes (2012) - 105 min

Country: Paraguay
Director: Juan Carlos Maneglia, Tana Schémbori.
Cast: Celso Franco, Lali Gonzalez & Nelly Davalos
Victor spends most of his time in a marketplace where he rides wheelbarrow to earn money and he desperately needs money to buy a new camera phone. In order to make fast money, Victor accepts a task of delivering 7 boxes of undisclosed items to an address.
The plot is very simple, just deliver 7 boxes to the destination. The things that happened in between that makes this cat & mouse game an ironic one. The camera work of Richard Careaga makes you feel like you were stuck in that marketplace. Attaching the camera in moving objects makes the chasing sequences more engaging that usual chase scenes. Both Celso Franco and Lali Gonzalez offer likeable performance as Victor & Liz respectively. Overall, it's an intense movie and visually it's a paraguayan movie that you don't want to miss.
Verdict: Good
