Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

muons A veteran detective counting his days to retirement and a rookie officer hungry for success and glory team up to hunt down a serial killer who refers to seven deadly sins in his gruesome murders. There's not a specific setting for the city where the drama unfolds except that it's a metropol area. The movie is perfect in directing, editing, acting and cinematography. Dark indoor scenes and narrow gloomy alleys shot under overcast and rainy skies fit very well with the brooding theme of the movie. Despite some intensive chase scenes and violence, Seven is not an action packed movie. Although it's technically classified as a crime thriller the psychological aspects of main characters are emphasized. Some reviewers describe it as a slow paced movie but it is not. The scenes involving character development are as captivating as those with gun fights and rooftop chases. The tempo is successfully balanced in subplots but the tension is never lost and the movie never gets boring. While horrid murder scenes aren't for fainthearted they can't be compared to cartoonish blood and gore extravaganza in Tarantino's movie caricatures. Like all other scenes, the director D. Fincher uses them in moderation to instill terror in the audience. Some reviewers' comparison of the serial killer John Doe to Hannibal Lecture is ridiculous. With his unrealistic superhuman physical strength, H. Lecture's silly cartoon character looks more funny than frightening in scenes where he bites off ears and noses in a straight jacket and finds his way out from a locked iron cage. John Doe, on the other hand, is an average person who can be easily taken down in a fistfight but his psychopathic ramblings give him a much more real and menacing look.

piercem-66810 *SPOILERS AHEAD* The movie se7en, directed by David Fincher and released in 1995 stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Pitt, is a young detective taking place of Freeman, who is an old, grizzled, detective who thinks he has seen it all, that is until this case. The goal of our heroes is to catch a new serial killer on the loose. This new serial killer, because of the unknown identity of the killer is referred to as John Doe. After investigating the first of Doe's crime scenes it is unknown as to why these killings were committed. But, after the second crime scene detectives noticed the word "GREED" written behind a painting. It becomes apparent that John Doe is committing murders based off of the seven deadly sins written by Dante Alighieri. Soon the other killings follow: Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Pride. After the murder of pride is committed the detectives have hit a dead end. This apparent defeat is short lived when the killer, still known only as John Doe turns himself in. Through negotiations John Doe exchanges a written confession for the detectives to take him out to a field. It is there when a box is delivered to the field with Brad Pitt's wife's head in the box. Before Pitt is made known of it John Doe tells Pitt how much he envies him, thus committing the sixth sin. Pitt, obviously outraged and furious shoots John Doe in the head committing the seventh and final sin: Wrath. The movies with Brad Pitt being carried off to jail and a distraught Morgan Freeman who goes on to retire. se7en has strong Christian undertones and themes. The strongest and most prevalent of these themes are Good v Evil, with evil coming out on top by the end of the movie. Now the problem with evil coming out on top is that it paints Christianity in a bad light. John Doe is a devout Christian and that is why he commits these killings. This battle between good and evil is illustrated by Doe committing killings, with Pitt and Freeman being at least three steps behind. And sadly, the "resolution" of our hero, Brad Pitt is not really present. But, the ending of the movie does give a message that coincides with biblical truth and that's shoving Christianity down people's throats. Doe states in the movie that in order for the love of God to be spread, he must first display to the world what is wrong with it. I'm no expert but that is not the kindest way of letting people know about the love of God. As stated before Christianity is of main prevalence in the movie. Christianity is not portrayed in a positive light with the main villain being a radical Christian committing multiple murders in order to spread the gospel. On the subject of evil being celebrated in the film, one could argue both points. One side would argue that the fact that evil wins is celebrating it. But, the other side would argue that the film depicts not only evil, but the effects it has on people's surroundings and it paints it in a bad light. And lastly, you can only recommend this movie to people with strong stomachs and people that can handle a film taking their religion hostile. All in all, se7en is a masterpiece of David Fincher. It's constant suspense and stomach turning visuals will keep a viewer glued to their seat for the entire runtime.
