Over The Top DVD Masterpeice

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2002)

I wont bore you with ANOTHER summary (why do amateur film reviewers feel the need to summarize the whole damn movie?) but i WILL say that Se7en is one of the top thrillers I have ever viewed with and incredible crescendo of intensity that builds to a climax that literally had me digging my fingers into my legs and freaking out. And I am usually THAT GUY who can guess the entire plot of a flick after the first 3 minutes. Or at least think I can.
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are GREAT as the two detectives on the hunt for (and seemingly always three steps behind) a serial murderer and their performances really defy the cookie cutter "he's the grizzled veteran with one month to go and he's the young triggerhappy punk cop" roles. Great dialogue and compellingly gruesome yet clever and....intelligent evil going on.
Between Fight Club and Se7en, David Fincher has really put a dent in my top 20 alltime fave flicks and I give it my top rating.
ASIDE: Here's a DVD that really gives you some juicy extra features...storyboards, alternate endings with director's commentary, etc. I cant WAIT to watch it tonight with the Pitt, Freeman, and Fincher commentary...
GET IT.
