Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2009)

Se7en is a film released in 1995 which shows that a serial killer is on the prowl for 7 persons possessing the following sins: lust,greed,gluttony,pride,envy,wrath and sloth and starring performance oriented actors like Brad Pitt,Morgan Freeman,and Kevin Spacey.
Two detectives,Pitt(David Mills) and Freeman(William Somerset) are hired to investigate the case and hunt down the serial killer. Mills,being the arrogant cop and Somerset,more of the mature one.The plot has been cleverly written and will keep you engrossed right till the end.The cinematography is of the highest quality and the tight script writing will keep you guessing.
Brad Pitt puts in a sincere performance as David Mills and gives able support to Morgan Freeman who completely overshadows Pitt and delivers one of the most brilliant performances of his career as William Somerset.The surprise package of the movie has to be Kevin Spacey who is given limited screen presence but yet delivers a haunting and moving performance.But credit has to be given to David Fincher who has worked hard on each aspect of the film and directed this movie brilliantly. One of the highlights of the film is the seven murders being showcased on the screen perfectly.The climax is one of the best you will ever see in American cinema and will keep you thinking about it for days.
