Chilling some spoilers

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2001)

I must admit that when this film came out, I totally ignored it, probably because I was only 9 nears old and I didn't care much for movies when back then. Now, after reading several reviews, I finally decided to take a chance with it.
The story is set from what I understand is supposed to be New York City. It is always dark and it is always raining. Detective William Somerset(Morgan Freeman) is an elderly, burned out homicide detective who is about to retire. Detective David Mills(Brad Pitt) is the brash, young detective who is set to replace Somerset at the end of the week. But before Somerset can retire, he must tackle one last important case. The two detectives arrive at the house of a obese man who was found with his face in a bowl of spaghetti. The second victim they find, a defense attorney, was forced to cut off a pound of his flesh. As further investigation into the murders continues, they soon learn that they were the first and second in a series of ritualistic killings in which the victims will be killed in accordance with the Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Wrath and Envy. I won't go any further than that.
Kevin Spacey, of American Beauty fame, plays John Doe with perfection. I didn't even know who he was until I saw this film. His role as John Doe is probably one of the creepiest I have ever seen. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt play their roles to perfection also. Seven's ending really surprised me because it was very unexpected and there were no clues to hint it.

I also like this film because it was directed by David Fincher. I liked because he succeeds in always creating dark and suspenseful atmospheres in his films like Alien 3, Fight Club, and The Game.
Now I'm a very big fan of serial killer films. I've seen most of the major ones The Silence of the Lambs, The Bone Collector, and this film.
**Spoilers** There is one something that I want to make very clear. Resurrection, another serial killer film starring Christopher Lambert is not a Seven rip-off. Although the two films do share the same qualities, they are two totally different films.
Now that is cleared up Seven a very chilling film and has a terrifying ending.
9/10
