Two homicide detectives are on a desperate hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are based on the "seven deadly sins" in this dark and haunting film that takes viewers from the tortured remains of one victim to the next. The seasoned Det. Somerset researches each sin in an effort to get inside the killer's mind, while his novice partner, Mills, scoffs at his efforts to unravel the case.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 17, 2024A quintessential Gen X noir, merging a detective narrative with the aesthetic of a grimy Trent Reznor music video.
- padd020h agoThose last six, seven minutes are intense.
- John.Redcorn4d agoThis film insists upon itself
- PhysicalMedia4LifeSeptember 16, 2026📦 "What was in the box?!" "What's in the box?!" "What's in the fu**ing box?!" 😱
- honestoliverSeptember 19, 2026What a great film. Morgan Freeman top notch as usual and Brad Pitt just beginning to act better than his earlier stuff. WHATS IN THE BAWWWWWXX. 😭
- Miguel1111April 30, 2026Slightly overrated
- Garrett WilkinsAugust 23, 2026The more I think about Se7en, the easier it is to understand why the film has endured as such a defining thriller. David Fincher doesn't simply make the world miserable; he builds an entire atmosphere around that misery. The constant rain, sickly lighting and decaying city make everything feel dirty before the investigation even begins. Darius Khondji's cinematography gives the film a look that feels almost hostile, while Fincher's restrained camera work keeps all that ugliness from becoming visual noise. Morgan Freeman gives Somerset a weary intelligence that makes his exhaustion feel painfully human, while Brad Pitt's impulsiveness plays perfectly against him. Kevin Spacey is equally memorable as John Doe, playing a genuine monster with an unnaturally calm, almost casual demeanor that makes the atrocities he's committed even harder to comprehend. He never needs to raise his voice to make Doe frightening. Se7en left an imprint far beyond the serial-killer genre, becoming one of those films whose imagery, ideas and lines have worked their way into popular culture without diminishing the movie itself. The Seven Deadly Sins give the story a framework for examining how easily people can become numb to the ugliness around them, while Fincher makes sure the violence always serves something beyond shock. Its influence is obvious in the grimy procedural thrillers that followed and in the way its imagery remains instantly recognizable decades later, yet the film itself hasn't lost any of its power. Looking back at it now, the precision of the filmmaking is what stands out most to me. The entire experience still feels suffocating, and that lasting effect is exactly why I have no trouble calling Se7en a classic.
- Julie JonesJanuary 12, 2026Se7en remains one of the most disturbing movies I have ever watched. What I love most about this glorious film is the marvelous way in which the story unfolds. I thought I had it all figured out and then the twist of the box.
- Survivor AlwaysSeptember 2, 2026Seven is a masterpiece! Wow! And Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are the duo that was needed for this movie. Morgan Freeman could give a stirring performance reading the phone book and Brad Pitt playing himself actually works really well for this movie. The mystery and thriller events of this movie are done to perfection. The cinematography and directing were amazing. I watch this movie over and over and it never gets old. I love it!
- Lewis SandersonAugust 18, 2026I think this is a really well made movie but I just couldn’t connect to the characters
- What_A_JinxJuly 1, 2026Such acting, much thriller, what is the box man and why does it rain so much where they live?
- Roy Danial JohnMay 28, 2026All time favourite of mine with great actors and an even better story line
