High-energy chase pic makes the most of a novel setting.

There's no subtlety here - coincidences are wildly abundant - but with this kind of vitality, who cares? Sit back and be carried away by the extended tracking shots and bam-bam editing.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

A fun, relentless thriller set in the mean streets of Paraguay.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

"7 Boxes," a low-budget Paraguayan crime caper goosed by low-rung dreams, crackles with the desperate energy of forced innovation.
