If you don't mind some gore check it out.

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2003)

Se7en is your run of the mill detective thriller with a razor sharp and bloody edge, though it is not only the gore that sets this movie apart. With an incredible cast (Morgan Freeman, Brad Pit, Kevin Spacey, Gweneth Paltrow, and R. Lee Emery), a sometimes overly slick but competent director (David Fincher of Fight Club fame), and a smart script by Andrew Kevin Walker (8mm) this movie was a much needed shot in the arm for the genre.
We open on Dectective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) at the scene of a violent crime, this pretty much sets the tone. Dectective Mills (Brad Pitt) enters and we learn that Somerset is retiring and Mills is his replacement. This is there "transition" period and Mills last week on the job.

These first few short scences are followed by one of the best opening credit sequeces ever made.
At the scene of another horribly gruesome crime we come across a man who has aparently eaten to death. When another, equally heinous, crime is linked to the first we realize that there maybe a serial killer on the prowl. The Race is on. Can John Doe (Kevin Spacey), our friendly nieghborhood psychopath, be stopped before he kills one person for every deadly sin (of which there are 'Se7en'), will Somerset get is man before he is out to pasture, and is there something more to these killings than at first glance.
I strongly recomend this movie, but only to the not so sqeamish. With a dark gritty atmosphere and filthy city as the backdrop to the unconscionable actions of mad man, you should not be let down. This is a highly entertianing film with more than one layer. If you have not seen it you are missing out.
