"Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die"

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2011)

Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi.
David Fincher is notorious director known for making cinematic masterpieces. I also love his filming style, as his progresses with thought and precision, other than fast-paced filming with no thought. Se7en was yet another film I have yet to see, and the film interested me with it's high ratings and thriller-esque. But when I sat down to see it, I was gratefully disappointed... Se7en started of great. The performances was top-notch, and Fincher did a wonderful job capturing a creepy atmosphere over the film. The movie progressed at a reasonable rate, but the one thing I didn't like was how it concluded.. See, the thing is, I like movies with a twist that cannot be seen from the beginning. Sure, I didn't know John Doe was Kevin Spacey, but the whole head thing wasn't too much of a shock. And the thing was, the whole movie built around THIS; a head. It was highly predictable and highly stupid.. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt worked around to the conclusion reasonably, but it was all too rushed, or maybe too overdone. Now I'm not bashing the film, and the only thing that left me disappointed was the worked up conclusion that gave no sense of thought into it. The film does have the Fincher touch though, and he did a fantastic job with it. See, this is where it comes in again, the TWIST was worked up so greatly. We're watching these murders, the mind-games, and the confusion between it at all. But all this is wasted, truthfully, on a twist ending that made me shriek nor feel anything. The creepiness and everything else was wasted... So I recommend the film if you haven't seen to many thriller films, and can expect a clichéd twist. Many people seemed to enjoy the film, which I DID, but I think the twist left a bad taste in my mouth. So see for yourself. 6/10.
