Grisly, Disturbing, and well created thriller

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2005)

Se7en is a film that is often compared to Silence Of The Lambs. Both films involve serial killers. In both films the serial killers have a method of choosing their next victim, and both films are dark and disturbing. In my opinion, they're both good and they're different types of films.
(Spoilers) Se7en starts out with detective David Mills(Brad Pitt) and Detective Lt. William Somerset(Morgan Freeman) investigating the murder of an obese man. He had been dead for a while and had the word gluttony written on the floor of his apartment. The next day there is another murder with the name of the second sin written on the floor. This is when the detectives figure out there is a serial killer on the loose, and he is picking his victims according to the seven sins. In the rest of the film Mills and Somerset are on a path ridden with danger and suspense in trying to track down the killer. I don't want to spoil anything else for you.
The killings that the detectives come across are grisly and disturbing. Se7en definitely has a long lasting effect on you for a long time after you see it. The film is well created as it sends you into the deepest darkest corners of the human mind and never goes soft. The climax is the best part as it keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat, and when you find out what happens you'll be in for a shock. I highly recommend se7en, but only if your stomach can handle it.
