Review of Se7en

Se7en (1995)
9/10
Intriguing crime drama
20 March 2001
Se7en is simply a great movie. It provides a unique motive for a

serial killer: to kill violators of the seven deadly sins. Is a person

justified in killing if doing it for the greater cause of society? Or

is it merely a veneer used to excuse morbid pleasures? Se7en discusses

this moral question. Besides the plot, he characters are not bad

either. Brad Pitt plays a defiant, rookie-like cop who partners with

the wise, veteran Morgan Freeman. Brad Pitt of course acts to the best

of his ability. It's too bad that he has achieved the taboo status of

being a heart-throb. Morgan Freeman though is respected for his great

roles in the past. The greatest part of the story ,though, is the ending which isn't

exactly a surprise but still is great how it ties the story together.

Another good attribute of the movie are the sets. They fulfill their

task of being depressing, dark, and just something that you'd see on a

rainy, dismal day in the city. Even the scenes in the large sunny

fields seem to be oddly depressing and dismal. Watch a great film: Se7en.
