Se7en Ratings & Reviews
- fear32December 3, 2025Objectively, one of the best movies ever made. Subjectively, the best movie ever made.
- PaulNovember 7, 2025Se7en is pure urban nightmare. David Fincher serves up a city so overpopulated and soulless it’s barely fit for human habitation. Riddled with crime, rain-soaked and anonymous, the city is as much a villain as the killer. Brad Pitt’s Mills and Morgan Freeman’s Somerset clash with the environment and each other, one young, bristling with hope, the other ground down by years of loneliness and horror. What bites hardest about Se7en isn’t just the gruesome crimes or infamous ending, but the film’s unspoken truth: the film’s tension and nihilism leave you thinking, maybe city living is the real sin. Grim, smart, and never less than riveting, Se7en stands out as a modern-day horror story and a warning shot at the dark side of civilisation.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 17, 2024A quintessential Gen X noir, merging a detective narrative with the aesthetic of a grimy Trent Reznor music video.
- Finlay BestOctober 29, 2025What's in the box? One of the best crime thrillers of the 20th century.
- Gene CapmanAugust 19, 2025I've seen this multiple times and the final act never ceases to punch me in the gut. Brilliant film.
- ben stevensonOctober 5, 2025One of the best crime thrillers out there.
- Örn LúðvíkssonOctober 28, 2025This is a masterpiece. Not for the faint hearted.
- darsanJune 25, 2025i had to re-watch this cause im watching f1 the movie tonight. firstly, brad pitt was amazing in this and kevin spacey's performance in the usual suspects and this one was phenomenal. secondly, this film is even better the second time. thirdly, david fincher knows how to make great crime films.
- RichardOctober 19, 2025Saw this one in the cinema when it came out and it left a mark. Not just because of the ending (which still punches like a freight train), but because it felt like a shift in how crime thrillers could look, feel and haunt. Later picked it up on DVD and it’s one of those I revisit when I want atmosphere so thick you could slice it with a box cutter. David Fincher directs with surgical precision, rain-soaked streets, flickering neon and a city that feels like it’s rotting from the inside. Morgan Freeman is the weary intellectual, Brad Pitt the impulsive rookie and Kevin Spacey… well, let’s just say his performance is unforgettable, even if his legacy isn’t. The concept is chilling: a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as a blueprint. Each crime scene is a grotesque tableau, each clue a philosophical jab. The pacing is deliberate, the tension constant and the final act? Iconic. It could’ve become more, a trilogy, a deeper dive into Somerset’s past, or even a spiritual sequel. But maybe it’s better as a standalone. One perfect storm of dread, decay, and despair. I loved the tone, the performances and the way it made adult years feel grim, introspective and cinematically shaken.
- Johan PotgieterOctober 12, 2025What a great movie. This was not my first watch but definitely worth it, even if you kind of remember what's about to happen. Great story, great cast. I even suspended my hate for Gwyneth Paltrow for the duration of the movie. Top 5 of all time in my opinion.
- Das_LamaJuly 4, 2025Probably one of the best crime dramas ever with a sprinkling of Silence of the Lambs.
- pdesorcyNovember 25, 2024OMG, what is in the box
