A great neo-noir thriller with nihilistic undertones

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2015)

If you haven't seen Se7en yet and you like thrillers or David Fincher, then I'm adamantly suggest that you should. For one it has amazing performances by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, both bringing extraordinary life to these characters, with a career making performance by Kevin Spacey. The cinematography is planned out in detail, shot by shot, to create a piece of art. The lighting and sets reflect the nature of the city and the murders that take place. But possibly the best thing about the movie is its rare use of guns. This movie achieves so much brutality without the viewer actually seeing the violence, which will haunt you forever. To summarise, excellent characters, cinematography, sets, lighting and direction to create one of the best neo-noir's since Chinatown.
