Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2011)

At the start of Se7en, we get to see a murder scene happening in the beginning of an investigation. The detectives are played by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. What they don't know is that the next seven days are going to be a rude awakening by a series of unfortunate murders. Se7en has a great and smart idea and a great pacing of suspense. But, sometimes the movie is hard to watch because of the graphic violence being displaced. After the beginning of the movie, the detectives are assigned to solve the murder cases. They have a similar connection, all of the cases is marked with the seven deadly sins. Soon, they realize that a menacing serial killer is on the loose. The setting for Se7en really concentrates on a dark, quite scary atmosphere. We don't know where the story takes place, but that means anything big in the plot because this movie holds the full package. Se7en keeps a dark and grim tone to the murders. This is a full exceptional cast also including R. Lee Ermey and Gwyneth Paltrow. Se7en works at its best with all of the suspenseful scenes and it pulls off with a edge-of-your-seat climax. A great mystery thriller. ★★★ 1/2 3 1/2 stars
