Director David Fincher's dark, stylish thriller ranks as one of the decade's most influential box-office successes. Set in a hellish vision of a New York-like city, where it is always raining and the air crackles with impending death, the film concerns Det. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a homicide specialist just one week from a well-deserved retirement. Every minute of his 32 years on the job is evident in Somerset's worn, exhausted face, and his soul aches with the pain that can only come from having seen and felt far too much. But Somerset's retirement must wait for one last case, for which he is teamed with young hotshot David Mills (Brad Pitt), the fiery detective set to replace him at the end of the week. Mills has talked his reluctant wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow), into moving to the big city so that he can tackle important cases, but his first and Somerset's last are more than either man has bargained for. A diabolical serial killer is staging grisly murders, choosing victims representing the seven deadly sins. First, an obese man is forced to eat until his stomach ruptures to represent gluttony, then a wealthy defense lawyer is made to cut off a pound of his own flesh as penance for greed. Somerset initially refuses to take the case, realizing that there will be five more murders, ghastly sermons about lust, sloth, pride, wrath, and envy presented by a madman to a sinful world. Somerset is correct, and something within him cannot let the case go, forcing the weary detective to team with Mills and see the case to its almost unspeakably horrible conclusion. The moody photography is by Darius Khondji; the nauseatingly vivid special effects are by makeup artist Rob Bottin, best known for more fantasy-oriented work in films like The Howling (1981).

How I managed to make it to 2023 with no spoilers to this film I will never know. Se7en is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen in my life, a finely tuned gem with a top star cast. If you have played "Condemned: Criminal Origins" then you will know the style of the game came from this film (game is different story though, so don't worry) The atmosphere of this film, even though mostly in daylight, is uneasy and brooding. Not much to say without completely spoiling it. Worth a full purchase.

One of Pitt's Best
Great drama/thriller movie starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. You'll love it if you like criminal justice shows and movies like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation or 12 Monkeys, Silence of the Lambs, etc.
