really good

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2015)

se7en was a very unsettling and well made movie. though most of the movie was conversation and could probably put many people to sleep, it quickly picked up pace towards the end and surprised everybody. i already knew the ending going in, yet i was still in shock. i think the main goal of the movie was not to be super intriguing or well written, and David fincher probably wasn't shooting to make a movie that would be rewatched thousands of times by countless people, but a movie that made a lasting impression on the thoughts of viewers. the goal seemed to be to make people think about the world we live in, and how diverted it is from God's original perspective. i will say that the acting was very good, and even though brad pitt had some questionable moments, he delivered a great performance where it was most needed. so did morgan freeman, and kevin spacey in the few minutes he had. the only reasons this got a 9 was 1) because it's a 2 hour movie, and while it was made this way to ensure that people got the whole story and no plot holes came up, it would've been a little less boring if it was shorter and 2) because mills is somewhat of a typical, single minded character most of the time, kind of a typical hotheaded cop.
