Seven (DVD 1999)

Its a great film and i only have it on video and wanted it on DVD. The DVD has lots more features than the video and the quality is far superior. it was alot cheaper on ebay than in the high streets.

If you like Brad Pitt in his early days, then this is the film for you. Starring alongside veteren actor Morgan Freeman, Pitt plays plays a detective investigating murders involving the seven deadly sins.

Nice twist at the end, but I won't spoil it.

Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light ...
[John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book II. Line 432]

"Seven deadly sins, seven ways to die" is the tagline for this intense psychological thriller directed by David Fincher:

~ Detective Sergeant Mills [Brad Pitt] is set to replace Detective Lieutenant Somerset [Morgan Freeman], a world-weary cop retiring after years on the force. Somerset can see no end to the harrowing crimes he has witnessed, the sickness that is the City. Dealing with murder, rape, abuse, and poverty has become the Lieutenant's life and he now hopes for some small shred of peace. Mills, on the other hand, is new to the city; he is arrogant and brash, having little time for Somerset's thoughtful and analytical techniques.

As retirement beckons, so a new spate of killings begin. Like it or not, Somerset is given the investigation by the Captain [R Lee Ermey] while Mills is put on a different case. The murders are soon linked to the same killer - a twisted genius who chooses his victims based on the seven deadly sins in Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy' - and Mills and Somerset are paired together once more.

Despite their clash of personalities Mills and Somerset strike up a good partnership, Somerset's introspectiveness and Mills's self-confidence turning out to be a useful combination. Each one learns a lot from the other; indeed, Mills's wife [Gwyneth Paltrow] thinks Somerset is a good influence on the husband she is rapidly growing concerned about.

It soon becomes apparent that the 'sins' killer is playing a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the detectives, enjoying watching them either stumble or succeed at every turn in the case ... while he continues to kill according to the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, lust. They must stop him before he can finish his murder spree and most probably disappear forever ~

Se7en is not only the most accomplished film by David Fincher [Zodiac] but almost certainly - from a writing and directing viewpoint - the best psychological thriller in the history of film and television. There are none of the stereotypical clichés found in countless thrillers of violence, no room for the predictable, for the viewer is kept constantly in the dark until the very end. And the climax is both ferocious and awe-striking ... for once Hollywood kept the outcome a secret until the day of release, not an easy thing to do.

Whatever vision Andrew Kevin Walker had before he took his script to screenwriter David Koepp [Secret Window] was ultimately realized once in the hands of David Fincher. Fincher's dark and rain-driven sewer, his city of sins, has yet to be matched on film. His choice of cast was spot-on. Se7en is a true classic, crossing genres like crime, horror, thriller and police procedural ... dark and moody, harrowing and painful, Se7en will appeal to the darker side within us all.

Co-stars John C McGinley as California [captain of SWAT team]

Matthew J Lee-Williams, Review.

Brad Pitt and Academy Award nominee Morgan Freeman star in this sinister and gripping mystery-thrilller about a pair of homicide detectives who must solve a puzzling sereis of horrific murders based on the seven deadly sins-
Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy and Wrath.

A powerful and unforgettable film, Seven reveals the dark and disturbing underworld in which evil stalks.

As a fan of the horror genre, particularly anything weird, someone at work recommended Seven as a must-see.

That's the last time I listen to them, then!

Getting past a dull start which seems to last for about four fifths of the whole movie, I was then met by an even more dreary storyline about some killer who punishes people for their sins.

Sadly the investigation into the murders themselves is interspersed with such a slow-moving plot and tedious dialogue that I really didn't find anything riveting or chilling in it.

I would struggle to find any reasons to recommend this one, so I won't!

Edge of your seat drama. Great performances from the great Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. Got all the components of a great Movie. Not one for the kids but Fantastic adult entertainment.

i bought this dvd as a stocking filler for my son in law. i couldnt believe that he'd never seen it. its a film that gets you gripped start to finish and is probably brad pitts best film. highly recommend this movie to anyone.

Apart from the obvious benefit of having the lovely Brad Pitt to look at, this film has so many twists and turns and keeps you glued all the way through. Unlike some films, it has no "are we near the end yet" part and the end is absolutely superb - highly recommended to all thriller lovers!

Brilliant when I first saw it at the cinema and actually better on second watching. Morgan Freeman is a great foil for the Brad Pitt policeman character. Somewhat harrowing scenes of the murders in its time but you see worse on CSI on the telly now! Defintely a collector's film.

Very dark film, delivered excellently. Totally gripping right from the start. Had seen it previously, but just had to get it on dvd, as you cannot take all the info on first vieming. In fact have now watched several times. The ending is one you'll remember for ever...

One of the classic thrillers I have always rated... Besides, both actors especially Morgan Freeman are two of my favourites....Here again the idea of the seven sins.... beautifully narrated.....

Heard of the film, but had never seen it and with Brad Pitt and Morgan freeman i wasnt going to be dissapointed. I havent had the time to watch it yet, but am very pleased with the product and have it stood in my shelf.

i think this is an excellent film that keeps you guessing right to the end as to how the plot will un fold

Great film, always wanted it on DVD, had it originally on VHS pal uk, but wanted to get it on DVD.
Twisted, thriller, great cast, great script. Definetly an exciting film to watch. Defenetly not boring.

AGAIN GREAT THRILLER OF A MOVIE, I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THIS FOR MY WIFE AS A GIFT ALBEIT SECOUND HAND(USED, SHE LIKES ALOT OF SERIAL KILLER MOVIES AND SHE REMEMBERED THAT WAS ONE OF HER ALL TIME MOVIES OF THAT CATAGORY, SO AGAIN WITH THE CONVENIENCE OF EBAY I WON THE AUCTION AGAIN IT WAS DIRT CHEAP, THATS WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT EBAY YOU CAN GET AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN AND NOT TO MENTION DELIVERY WAS QUICK AND THE DVD WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
