Fincher does it again

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2004)

Seven is a movie about two detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman who notice that their killer has been following a theme: the Seven Deadly Sins. Fincher turns an average premise into one of the best films of the nineties, an engrossing, fascinating and even apocalyptic thriller. There are some great ideas about human nature, and while it doesn't go as deep as Fight Club, the ending is a shocker. Kevin Spacey shows up during the last half hour to give another great performance, and even R. Lee Ermey features in some scenes. Highly recommended. 9/10
