Perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2001)

My friends think I'm insane, but I rate this one higher than Silence of the Lambs (the movie Se7en is most compared with). It's much darker and has a lot more atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, Silence... was a fantastic movie, but Se7en is in my opinion the best serial killer film ever!
Everybody has seen the cliche of a retiring officer who's working in a rookie a thousand times (and more) and that's probably the only flaw this masterpiece has. It's a dark (and rainy!) look at the seven deadly sins which have become just another piece of our lives and there are no innocent souls on this planet left (according to John Doe). Everybody is guilty!

The movie takes you with one surprise after another to the ending. The ending is the best part of the film (I've seen enough films to know this is does not happen often), when the detectives and their killer find the two other victims.
Special nods towards the cinematography (which is excellent) and the producers decision to not show the name of the actor playing the 'bad guy' in the opening credits.
This film is a must see for everybody who wants to see... No, just for everybody!
