Shivers down the spine ...

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2010)

I've seen this movie at least ten times, and every time it's getting better then the last time. I have been paying much attention to the script, in order to find some mistakes, because I couldn't believe that such a script was viable. But it is. Andrew Walker is a genius, a fact proved by Seven and consolidated by 8MM. Never mind the acting. Freeman, Pitt, Paltrow and Spacey are multiple Oscar winners and nominees, so we're not talking about them. It goes without saying. As for David Fincher, the movie is obviously his masterpiece (along with Fight Club, of course). The movie is ... just mind blowing. The atmosphere is raw, and unstudied, and it all happens very fast, flowing towards the ending. And as John Doe grins at the end, knowing that he TRULY is the victor, the tension rises every time, and the musical score just makes you breathe on the edge of the seat, that's when the truth is revealed ... to be one of the greatest movies ever made. You shouldn't try to watch it. You HAVE TO watch it. Otherwise you've lived for nothing.
