David Fincher's first MASTERPIECE.

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2013)

Sin: 1-transgression of divine law;
2-any act Regarded to such a transgression, especially the willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle;
3-to commit a sinful act. The Sins began the film and led to the end,but it was no sin making this film.
"Se7en", as you can see, it is about the seven deadly sins: Gluttony; Greed; Sloth; Lust; Pride or Vanity; Envy; Wrath. It all starts when the veteran Detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and the rookie detective David Mills (Brad Pitt) are both faced with a line of murders, and every death there is a message written with one of the deadly sins. They begin to notice that the killer, who later discover is called John Doe (Kevin Spacey) uses all sins for a different kind of murder. Soon both detectives begin a long study and research behind the insane psychopath who will later lead them to an unexpected end.
With "Se7en" David Fincher showed the fantastic director that he can be. He went from hated (thanks to "Alien 3") to a true filmmaker giving a spectacular direction. Each scene is shot accurately making the film more tense and the investigation more thrilling. But it also gives credits to Andrew Kevin Walker (screenplay) with a superb writing delivering dialogs very well written and developed, and an insane study in each of the sins, but even with the gloomy environment, the movie manages to have humor that pretty much serves to calm the frantic pace.
The cast is just wonderful. Morgan Freeman superb as always; Brad Pitt once again great; but who stands out is Kevin Spacey, after his appearance everything in the film seems to have a relapse, the suspense increases, the atmosphere darkens, all thanks to its whimsical and cultured expression of "serial killer".
An electrifying thriller, well directed and written, loaded with stunning performances, leading to an unexpected ending. "Se7en" is the film that brought David Fincher to filmmaking life and to the world his fantastic films.
