Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that's both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening credits to the horrifying (and seemingly inescapable) concluding twist, director David Fincher immerses us in a murky urban twilight where everything seems to be rotting, rusting, or molding; the air is cold and heavy with dread. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are the detectives who skillfully track down the killer--all the while unaware that he has been closing in on them, as well. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey are also featured, but it is director Fincher and the ominous, overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere of doom that he creates that are the real stars of the film. It's a terrific date movie--for vampires. --Jim Emerson



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This isn't just another thriller . . .
This isn't just another thriller. This one deals with psychology, philosophy, and the seven deadly sins (Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Pride, and Envy). This one shakes you to the bone (it really works as a top-rate thriller). The acting, the cinematography, the minimal music, and the urban setting are amazing. And you'll be rightfully shocked at what happens in the end. ****1/2 out of *****.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pitt Carries Seven.
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman make Seven a must see. There are enough twists and turns to make the story go. Sometimes more obvious than it
needs to be, it still has great acting, solid story line, believeable characters and action.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Like "Saw", but it doesn't suck
Se7en is a film about 2 detectives trying to solve a murder case where the killer is executing people who he thinks have committed the 7 deadly sins. This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and has the best ending/climax that I have ever seen. This film will also act as a moral compass and make you think about your own beliefs about life, death, and sin. highly reccamended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fear times 7
One of the most fearful movies I have ever seen. Just outstanding acting and suspense.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - a lot of rain and bad acting
all the tortures inflicted by the serial killer in this film pale next to having to watch brad pitt's horrible acting. and brad pitt's acting is better than the script.
