Review of Six Days Seven Nights
Six Days Seven Nights is a combination of action, adventure, and comedy genres; the ambitious combination of these genres in the linear plot is impressive. The movie’s storyline was not carefully planned, which resulted in some inconsistencies with the plot. The plot is all over the place, making it increasingly complicated for viewers to keep track of the movie.
The movie’s narrative is driven by three elements; action, adventure, and comedy. The action scenes in the movie are quite impressive, and Harrison Ford (who plays Quinn) does a great job of portraying the character’s tough-guy persona. The adventure scenes are well shot, showcasing the stunning scenery of the island, which only adds to the movie’s charm. The comedy scenes are hilariously awkward and situational, which adds an extra layer of entertainment to the plot. The supporting comedic character, Frank, played by David Schwimmer, also adds his brand of comedy to the movie’s plot, with unforgettable one-liners that Friends fans are sure to appreciate.
The character development in Six Days Seven Nights was lacking as the movie paid more attention to the action and adventure rather than the characters’ emotional arcs. Although we do see Robin’s character development from a high-strung editor to a resourceful survivor, it’s not enough to make up for the lack of character development for the other characters.
Conclusion
Overall, Six Days Seven Nights is a thrilling and entertaining movie filled with action, adventure, and comedy. While it lacks character development, it’s still a great movie, and the stunning scenery and thrilling adventures keep viewers hooked until the end. Fans of Harrison Ford and David Schwimmer will love the spot-on performances from both actors.
