  The Best Thriller Of All Time
Review created: 27/06/06

8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

In Se7en, Daivd Fincher (director of Fight Club and Panic Room) conjures up a delightfully bleak helping of moody, noir-esque thrills around Andrew Kevin Walker's ingenious and engaging script. Se7en is set in a quintessential American city (we are never told which one), where the arm of the law is never quite long enough to prevent the city's criminal underbelly from indulging in all sorts of sinful activity.
Against this backdrop we find the film's two protagonists, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman who both deliver fine performances. Pitt plays the young, idealistic and motivated Detective Mills, who is the perfect foil to the pragmatic and world weary Detective Lt William Somerset, played by Freeman.

Mills and Somerset are assigned to hunt down the sociopathic serial killer John Doe, whose murders are grisly sermons designed to warn a corrupt society of the consequences of the seven deadly sins (gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy and wrath). Each of his murders becomes an ironic example of the dangers of each sin; his victims are punished for the deadly sin they embody by being forced to indulge in it until it kills them.

Unfortunately for Mills and Somerset, John Doe is as intelligent as he is disturbed, and they can do little but follow in his wake to pick up the pieces until he unexpectedly turns himself in...

Although some people might find the plot a bit too twisty, and the story a bit too morbid, all in all this is a fast paced and witty film, with superb acting from a great cast (also including Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey). This film will leave you guessing until the brain-bendingly clever finale.

As you've probably guessed by now, this isn't the kind of film to watch if you're in need of cheering up. In fact I would go so far as to say that this is one of the most depressing films I have seen for a long time. This film will take you to a dark and frightening place. Crucially though, it's not only dark but interesting and (in a way) enjoyable, highly recommended.

Admittedly, I am not a fan of such films as Se7en. The whole idea of a simple murder bored me. But this was no simple murder. From start to finish, it keeps you enthralled. Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey were brilliant, setting the mood and barreling the story magnificently. Kevin Spacey chilled me to the bone, portraying the murderer brilliantly as a cold, calculated and intelligent man, Brad Pitt did well as the angry, cocky new kid and Morgan Freeman was a brilliant father figure for the majority of the movie. The storyline is brilliant, special effects look outstanding for a 1995 film, the gruesome details of each murder a credit to the creators. The only gripe I have is the ending is forseeable. But even that did not spoil this thoroughly fantastic film.

We bought this film because we had seen it before and thought it was good. It is not however for the squeemish! Starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, it is the story of two cops, one young and ambitious and one about to retire, hunting a serial killer. The end is totally unexpected and very clever. If you like a good thriller and have a strong stomach then this one's for you.

  Seven:Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman
Review created: 02/03/08

An unsual but interesting film blending aspect's of the classic cop thriller with horrific shock element's.
When an older,(Morgan Freeman)officer who is about to retire is assigned to uncover evidence from a sadistic homicide,he is joined by new partner,(Brad Pitt).
Freeman is aware that the circustances have a greater meaning than just the murder and feel's Pitt's character is unready to take the case on.
What develope's is an unravelling of a serial killer's twisted fantasies executed literally upon his victim's.
The nature of the crime's are so henious that Freeman decide's to help Pitt try to catch the murderer.The two officer's are gradually brought together as we see their character's unveiled.
Freeman is the loner,a disenchanted unassuming intelligent cop who think's he has seen it all,(untill this case).Pitt is married and a younger ambitious reactionary cop who is ready to kick in a door rather than wait for a search warrant.
What we see is the two brought together to fight a common evil.
Critic's might say that they could see the end coming what with it's apparrent sin's sic! and formulaic style.
I enjoyed the movie with Freeman and Pitt giving believable performances and a plot that move's along quick enough to keep the audience involved and interested enough in the outcome.

  It would be a sin to not see this film
Review created: 17/02/08(updated 17/02/08)

This film is superb. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are excellent in their roles as homicide detectives. Kevin Spacey also plays his role fantastically as always and is very creepy.
This film has an excellent storyline, keeps you on the edge of your seat, is very cleverly written and has alot of twists to. It is also very disturbing in places and is one of the best thrillers i have seen.
It is a dark and very eerie film but definately worth seeing.

I highly recommend this film to everyone 5/5

Review created: 04/02/08

This is a top film. I loved this film. I watched it thinking that it would not be very good and loved it!! There was top acting by everyone including Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Kiefer Sutherland, Gweneth Pultrow, and not forgetting Morgan Freeman. Brad and Morgan work closely together to try and solve a murder case like no other and try and hunt down the killer, which proves harder than it seems. I dont want to give too much away but will not disappoint. This all star cast is a cert for success and will have you hooked from beginning to end. This film has so many twists and turns and keeps the audience guessing and wondering what will happen next! You will not be able to predict how this film goes and will be hooked and love it!! I bought this as I saw it on tv ages ago and got blown away!! I also wanted to buy the two disc edition and see the special features present as they promise not to disappoint!! If you have not seen this film it is worth seeing and another film to own as you will want to watch it again and again and again!! I love this film!! If this has helped please click in the box and let me know!! I hope it does help!! Enjoy this quality film!

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.

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]

When you put the likes of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman on the same set, there is a chemical for magic, and this film collects all this into one ball and explodes it onto your tv.


Easily one of the best story lines that i have come across, and the way that its put onto the screen is nothing short of genius.


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

Hello All,

I decided to purchase this product becuase a few years ago I watched the film by renting it from a video rental store. Now that I have grown a lot older ! i decided to put this film in my classic thriller collection (it up there with the best i.e Silence of the Lambs). This film just had to be purchased becuase it has great mysteries and puzzles along with two great actors being, Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt who complemant each other superbly. Watch if you have not watched it but even if you have it will be great addition to your collection.
