Review of Se7en (1995) by Lamurias — 07 Oct 2014

I've been wanting to watch this movie for a few years now because it is often referenced on other movies and TV shows, and I'm also a fan of every David Fincher movie I've watched. Even though I already knew what happened in the end, the movie was still very intense and overall a great experience. The movie is set on an unnamed "Gotham" type city, where violent crime is as common as smoking indoors during the 90s. In less than 2 hours, Pitt and Freeman establish a relation so strong, you'll want to keep watching them figuring out serial killers even after the movie is over.

It's also worth noting how influential this movie was on 00's entertainment. Here you have a serial killer killing for a greater good ("Dexter") an old-cop-new-cop dynamic (True Detective, etc.), and a city full of criminal with dark overtones (Nolan's Batman trilogy). Fincher is a visionary and it doesn't seem like he will ever have a flop as long as good actors and a good script are involved.
