Disturbing and astounding

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 1999)

Recently I viewed the movie Seven after much prodding from those around me, saying that it would scare the bejeezus out of me. Well, it certainly did that, but it also gave me a very enjoyable viewing experience of an outstanding movie. Pitt and Freeman both turn in outstanding performances as well as the maniacally sane Spacey who gives his second best performance after his amazing role in The Usual Suspects. To me, the movie had the feel of Bladerunner including the crowded feeling that is gave as well as the constant rain. It certainly was disturbing but more so it was frightening. Seven was definitely not as disturbing as Apocalypse Now or even Pulp Fiction. All in all, it is a great movie, and one of the best if a scare is what you're looking for.
