Seven Days in May is one of my all time favorite movies and I recommend it to all who haven't seen it yet. Having it on Blu-Ray just makes it better. Love it!

Great acting with easy to watch intrigue

ByBlair Gon March 27, 2015

Political intrigue well-portrayed by a collection of wonderful actors. Forget the weaving camera movements, the impeccably-timed car-chase explosions to maximize visual stimulation, or the ear-splitting (though there is plenty of overly-loud orchestra) music to hype the pace of the action. No, this is a step-by-step revelation of deep-state activity barely visible (hence the term "invisible government") to the casual observer but astutely detected and unveiled by a loyal American soldier (Kirk Douglas). Though a 1964 film, it is every bit as relevant to today's political dramas and much easier to watch. Great performances by all.

Great movie

ByFrancison March 4, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

This is the story of a coup against an American President (Frederic March) led by an Air Force General (Burt Lancaster) and foiled by a Marine Colonel (Kirk Douglas). The film is based on a book written in the early days of the JFK administration. Is it relevant in today's America? Anyone's guess. As a movie, it is flawless. No tasteless sex, no disemboweling, no car chases. Just a good script, well acted-edited-and-directed.
