A Great Criminal Horror yet a Horrid Ending

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2019)

Seven follows two detectives who are set on a case of a crazed, psychotic extremist who believes in the seven deadly sins- that's it. That's the whole movie. Essentially, it's about this duo (which the chemistry is awesome) and how they try and find the answers as to why this is happening which of course, is later explained by Kevin Spacey who plays as the killer, John Doe. I honestly had a very amazing experience watching this movie and viewed it like a Horror film which came off really close to that genre in my opinion, but the film's ending was so gut-wretchingly bad, that I was shook up on my perspective for this movie. I HATED the way it ended, and how it led down. This movie to me, had much more potential. But the thing is, it's a nitpick and I do understand the ending as to why it happened but... was that something really necessary? I don't believe so. I thought it was a cheap, bought-out ending that was made for shock and to me, it definitely got the shock value of it. However, the moral ambiguities that this film implies was just, depressing. To see your heroes lose like this, was just as bad as Avengers Infinity War, but that worked for that film. This one, I don't think so. It's a great criminal thriller/horror to watch but the ending will disappoint you, and if you're not interested in seeing your heroes lose a case- you'll want to pass on this one.
