Bleah

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2000)

Overrated and formulaic, right down the tips of its credits and the cheesy "7" that is in the title...do I hear hisses from the peanut gallery? I realize a lot of people adore this movie, but I don't. Se7en has the characteristic (for me, anyway) that a lot of critics are saying plagues "Pay It Forward." It's too manufactured. There's something very artificial and contrived about the movie, and I just can't buy into it. As for the "surprise" ending...sorry, but I saw it coming from a mile away.
