Review of Se7en (1995) by Panapaok — 11 Nov 2014

It starts classically. Two detectives the one different from the other. Fincher brings the action immediately and we are drown into the story.

The one (Freeman) is older, wiser, well-educated and more experienced. Each and every of his lines seem to be well thought and straightforward. Morgan Freeman plays Somerset with great intensity and calming demeanor and this is one of his best roles.

The other (Pitt) is the new guy and the classic hothead who first acts and then starts to think his actions. He is definitely a man of the action. Brad Pitt was a right choice for the role and his work is very good out of the question.

Andrew Kevin Walker, the writer, provides both of them with great and almost poetic dialogue while David Fincher, the director, fills the movie with a dark and gripping tone and he directs with a great amount of energy.

The case is a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't watched the film so I will not mention the actor's name. All I can say is the fact that he is the perfect choice for the role because he embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice.

This is one of the most dark and disturbing films of all time and definitely one of the really best. It's not a film which you will forget easily. Actually is one of the most haunting ones and it's a film which raises several questions about our society. It's simply a masterpiece.
