Se7en is a modern cinema classic

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2006)

Detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) are investigating the death of a morbidly obese man and after the autopsy realize that it was a homicide. A few days later another man is found murdered in his office building with the word greed written on the carpet in his own blood. On to something, Somerset goes back to the home of the first victim and finds the word gluttony written on a wall behind a refrigerator. He and Mills go to their boss and tell him that whoever is committing these murderers is using his victims as representations of the seven deadly sins and must stop him before he finishes his plan.
Se7en is one of the greatest films made in the last 15 years. It is the only film to successfully mix Film Noir and Horror. The characters are completely developed and the hellish decaying atmosphere is perfect for the film. this is so original and innovative that you never know what could happen next.
Se7en is David Fincher's best film he as (and probably will ever) made so far. He does a perfect job capturing the horror and gruesomeness of the murders being committed and the two detectives struggle to solve the murders and also the decaying enviorment which the film is set. John Doe (kevin Spacey) has now become one of the most sadistic killers in cinema history despite the fact that we never see him kill anyone. He is played terrificly by Kevin Spacey although he does not appear until the last half hour of the film.
Another thing that makes this movie so great is it's unhappy ending. John Doe leads Somerset and Mills out to a trailer where a U.P.S. man delivers a package. Somerset opens the box and sees the severed head of Mills's wife (gweneth Paltrow) inside. Mills then kills Jhon Doe and is arrested. There is no other film that could ever compare to Se7en. Others might try to emulate it but this is a once in a lifetime films.
Buy the DVD as soon as you can.
