Cool, stylish, but still sad

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2003)

"Se7en" is a police drama about two cops trying to find a mysterious killer who is knocking off victims according to the sins they've committed. The plot is intriguing, the acting is emotional, and the thrills are incredibly creepy.
Though, this film wouldn't be as disturbing as some say it is. Sure, the ending is sad, but aside from that, it's just as 'gross' as every other forensic movie. In fact, movies like "The Bone Collector" are more disgusting than this.
And, of course, there's Fincher's excellent directing talent. The camera angles are cool, the chase scenes are suspenseful, and the investigation is clever. Morgan Freeman plays the grizzled old cop well, and Pitt delivers a more comedic performance than a dramatic one as the young Det. Mills.
The best part of "Se7en" would be Kevin Spacey's creepy role as the deadly killer. Sure, Spacey looks like your regular nice guy, but that's what makes him so evil. You hate him so much because you feel guilty for liking him.
"Se7en" is a funny, dramatic, thrill-ride of a movie, 8.5/10.
