Brilliant neo-noir with incredible cinematography and a gut-wrenching climax.

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2007)

I love "Se7en". It's captivating, horrifically repulsive, thought provoking, and violently thrilling. Fincher's style creates a foreboding and appealing atmosphere that makes you HAVE to look, even if mounting tension and repulsion would compel you to do otherwise. Fincher shows you some very disturbing, bloody things in this film, but he pulls back and uses implication rather than illustration at the perfect times. The climax is incredible in its ability to effect you, forcing you to be introspective about what you would do in the character at center stage's position. Few films have engaged me emotionally and mentally in such a way.
