A good solid effort, and a lot better than "Panic Room"

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2003)

Fincher seems to do one kind of movie - the bad movie. There's the laughably cheesy "Panic Room" and the pretentious "Fight Club," not to mention the execrable "Alien 3" and "The Game."
"Se7en" is a lot better than these movies. Morgan Freeman gives the film class as per usual, but Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey stink up the screen pretty badly (I must admit I feel an intense dislike of certain actors, and Kevin Spacey is one of them). Thankfully, the plot is interesting, and the ending is very un-Hollywood.
