Near perfection of a crime thriller

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2020)

Maybe it took me way too long to get to this movie but at least I was well prepared for what was about to come, not fully though. Se7en is a story of two detectives, played stupendously by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who lead the investigation of serial murders based on seven deadly sins. For me personally there were never any certain things that are unlawful or forbidden - it is a matter of personal beliefs and values that each individual defines for himself - but this movie has made me look at those from a different point of view. In any case a murder, no matter what its nature and motive are, should not be tolerated and Se7en gives you plenty of grains of wisdom to think about while you try and figure out the murderer's nature and motive. Although at times very depressive and hard to comprehend the movie showcases a vast variety of emotions the main characters are going through - I'd like to especially point out Brad Pitt's character who you vouch for and empathize the most - at times it also shows signs of predictability and lazy writing but despite all that Se7en is no doubt one of the greatest movies of all times in its genre.
