Depraved, revolting and obscene

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2002)

This movie, and all the praise it engenders on this web site, make one despair for humanity in general, and for contemporary America in particular.
Technically excellent, "Se7en" is a soulless, cold-blooded monstrosity which exults in the worst evils the human mind can encompass and uses every manipulative device known to modern cinema to tittilate and excite a degenerate audience. Detective Mills (Brad Pitt), an immature, poorly educated, foul-mouthed, impulsive and shallow caricature of a man, is the template for the rootless, heartless, mindless young males who cheer this film as "one of the greatest of all time." It is NOT. It is filth and corruption incarnate.
0 out of 10. Every print of this bestial nightmare should be dissolved in the most corrosive acid possible.
