the seven ups be a good and engrossing film . it pack with credible performance by scheider and labianco and an effective scary performance by richard lynch although most of the character be card board cut out tough guy . character development do not evolve at all on the screen . the only thing we know be the good guy be the good guy and the bad guy be bad . deviate from the crime story norm and the seven ups manage to throw scheider and crew into the middle of a building plot in a unique writing twist . onsite location of new york city and an excellent choreographed car chase highlight the film . the only downside of the film be the slightly confusing plot line in the beginning . they give the viewer little evidence that the men be kidnap be mob related ( until later in the film ) . have someone blindly start watch the film may be slightly confuse on the story . otherwise and the seven ups be a gritty and testosterone fill enjoyable time .
