Good concept, poorly executed.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The first must-see film of the year.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
For all those out there that have never seen "Seven" there is only one advice: watch it and shiver. For anyone who is a movie lover of thrillers and detectives this is an absolute must see. You must be crazy if one would disregard this movie. I would only advice those people NOT to go see it if they are faint of heart, because this classic has some pretty gruesome killings in it. Although most of those killings arent shown, only the victims are shown, but they are shown in such a horrifying way that I still have to look away at some scenes.This is without a doubt the ultimate freak thriller slasher movie of the nineties. But mind you, it is NOT that there is much killings to be seen, no the suspense that another victim is gonna be killed rises to levels never before seen on the silver screen. It is what some call a mindf*k thriller and oh man does your mind get twisted with the sick but intelligent plot.Starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey who all perform at the peak of their talents. Oscars and dozens of awards worldwide were given to this unique piece of suspense horror. One of the most popular thrillers ever released in american movie history. This is something that just mesmirizes and shocks me again and again and I must have seen it over 20 times by now.The story is about Brad Pitt, playing a young detective married to Gwyneth Paltrow. Brad Pitt has to work with another detective Morgan Freeman to solve a serial killer case. The story sounds simple but the execution of it is mindboggling nervewrecking. I think to this day it is one of the most twisted sick thrillers I have ever seen, but it is directed so brilliantly that is a joy to watch from beginning to end. If you have never seen this movie you are in a very fortunate position, because the suspense is greatest when you dont know HOW this story will turn out. Enjoy and shiver!
So the setting is kind of ambiguous, some east-coast American inner city where it rains everyday. This is the true odd couple detective mish-mash set-up. A typically crusty Morgan Freeman character and a typically hot-tempered Brad Pitt character. But the movie's craftiness in character reveal and its play on morality is pure Fincher from this era. Se7en is only a seven, but a must-watch.
We've watched this movie several times; and with each time, we see something new! It was VERY well written, EXCELLENT cast, and GREAT story line. We can't get enough of this movie! Unfortunately, people don't know how to grip your attention like this, anymore. Se7en is a MUST see!
