Reviews

muons A veteran detective counting his days to retirement and a rookie officer hungry for success and glory team up to hunt down a serial killer who refers to seven deadly sins in his gruesome murders. There's not a specific setting for the city where the drama unfolds except that it's a metropol area. The movie is perfect in directing, editing, acting and cinematography. Dark indoor scenes and narrow gloomy alleys shot under overcast and rainy skies fit very well with the brooding theme of the movie. Despite some intensive chase scenes and violence, Seven is not an action packed movie. Although it's technically classified as a crime thriller the psychological aspects of main characters are emphasized. Some reviewers describe it as a slow paced movie but it is not. The scenes involving character development are as captivating as those with gun fights and rooftop chases. The tempo is successfully balanced in subplots but the tension is never lost and the movie never gets boring. While horrid murder scenes aren't for fainthearted they can't be compared to cartoonish blood and gore extravaganza in Tarantino's movie caricatures. Like all other scenes, the director D. Fincher uses them in moderation to instill terror in the audience. Some reviewers' comparison of the serial killer John Doe to Hannibal Lecture is ridiculous. With his unrealistic superhuman physical strength, H. Lecture's silly cartoon character looks more funny than frightening in scenes where he bites off ears and noses in a straight jacket and finds his way out from a locked iron cage. John Doe, on the other hand, is an average person who can be easily taken down in a fistfight but his psychopathic ramblings give him a much more real and menacing look.

davidklein-06399 So the setting is kind of ambiguous, some east-coast American inner city where it rains everyday. This is the true odd couple detective mish-mash set-up. A typically crusty Morgan Freeman character and a typically hot-tempered Brad Pitt character. But the movie's craftiness in character reveal and its play on morality is pure Fincher from this era. Se7en is only a seven, but a must-watch.

dharm-speakz This is my first IMDb review and I had this account for more than 10 years.Morgon Freeman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey - all great actors couldn't have pulled this masterpiece any better.This movie keeps you on your toes till the end. I was watching this movie very late in the night and was pretty much tired, but the movie just woke me up; especially the ending throws you upside down.This is dark at its finest but will also keep your mind hanging in the air questioning how sinister life can be.Simply a great movie !

TheCubbageConnection We've watched this movie several times; and with each time, we see something new! It was VERY well written, EXCELLENT cast, and GREAT story line. We can't get enough of this movie! Unfortunately, people don't know how to grip your attention like this, anymore. Se7en is a MUST see!
