Se7en

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2016)

I grew up watching suspense thrillers with my dad. He started me on Columbo and then on to the good stuff like Silence of the Lambs, Dog Day Afternoon and Manhunter. I always thought I could predict what was gonna happen in a movie until I saw Se7en, with Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman. It follows a young rookie detective as he gets thrown headlong into a nasty career in homicide. Se7en is a nail-biting suspense thriller that made me think differently about detective flicks and how to watch them. As a younger movie goer, I remember thinking I'd never seen anything like it and it moved at a pace I'd learn to love in later movies. It definitely had a positive impact on my view of filmmaking. One of my favorites, for sure.
