Seven

Summary: well....
Review: it was very disturbing. i rented this movie with some of my friends (we are all twelve years old) because we all like gwenyth paltrow and brad pitt. the description we read on the back of the case (at the video rental place) sounded interesting, so we got it. however, the film had more gore and horror in it than drama. one of my neighbors (we live in an apartment) even got worried and came to check on us because we were screaming so much. but, the acting was really good, and if you like horror/drama movies you will like Seven.

Summary: Viciously underrated . . . viciously good
Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best movies of the 90s. It takes a very dark subject (serial killers) and handles it flawlessly, without watering it down or exploiting it. There is also a ton of style here by the brilliant David Fincher (again, in my opinion, one of the best directors alive).

Seven is very dark and very interesting visually - it presents New York as a hellish, wet, urban nightmare. A serial killer is on the loose, punishing those who commit one of the 7 deadly sins; you know the storyline. Each murder is more chilling and gruesome than the last. We watch as Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt (who are BOTH excellent in this) try to catch "John Doe." Warning: this next part is a spoiler, but you probably know this already. John Doe turns out to be played by the very talented Kevin Spacey, who is absolutely chilling in this, one of his best performances. The terribly tense finale is a tad predictable, but very effective anyway.

If you enjoyed Seven, be sure and see Fight Club, which is also a very, very good movie directed by David Fincher. In short, Seven is a spectacular movie that you simply have to see.

Summary: GOOD BUT........
Review: THE STORYLINE OF SEVEN IS VERY GOOD, BUT, FOR EXAMPLE SAVING PRIVATE RYAN IS OVER 3HRS. LONG ON ONE SIDE OF THE DISC PLUS A LOT OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT COMES WITH THE MOVIE. OKAY ... SEVEN IS ONLY 127 MIN WITH NO EXTRA STUFF, BUT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DISC SO YOU HAVE TO FLIP IT OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE ... WHY? I THINK THAT IS REALLY STUPID.

Summary: Creepy!
Review: Excellent! The end is very unexpected, and extremely well crafted. The acting is a bit wooden in places, but generally helps add to the mood. I don't know about flipping the disc - that must've been a REgion 1 version feature -the region 4 disc doesn't require flipping.

Summary: FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS!
Review: You are never prepared for what comes next in this movie. From the creepy opening minutes to the shocking final scene, you won't budge from your seat. SEVEN brings out the best in Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, showcasing both actors' incredibly convincing characters. Gwenyth Paltrow, though in a smaller role, shines as the sweet and innocent wife. This film is NOT for the timid or the very young, but SEVEN is truly one for your video libraries.

Summary: Creepy and Provocative
Review: I picked this movie up on a whim, and I had trouble sleeping for several nights afterward. This is the one movie that I really liked Brad Pitt in. Pitt really sinks his teeth into the role, and does not stand around the entire time looking pretty. He is a young cop in a tough city, and you can feel it. His partner, the older wiser Morgan Freeman, just oozes intelligence and patience. I have always admired Freeman's acting, and this is just one more reason why. Their somewhat mismatched partnership leads them to one of the most bizarre serial killings that I have ever viewed onscreen. Each connected murder just becomes more gruesome with each turn, building up to one of the most twisted climaxes in the history of filmmaking. For me, the best part of the film is the brief appearance at the end by Kevin Spacey; his character alone is enough for me to watch it over and over again. I really like this film; it is one of the few intelligent moments in moviemaking of the 1990's.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: This movie has a lot to offer. I have written reviews for a lot of movies in amazon.com but I think this one might be the easiest to tell to you people who are reading. Seven is a DARK movie and that gives it a little bit of thrill. The best thing in this movie is the acting and the well performed scenery. This movie is a good addition to your Drama section on your video shelf maybe even suspense. It is amazing the way this man (jondoe) is able to keep every single murder perfectly secret until he wants it exposed. This movie also is very well written. Each clue is perfectly detailed and every murder has it's own thing to tell the detectives: Mills (Pitt) and Somerset (Freeman) about the next murder that happened so that they never lose track of anything. I am not going to tell you the ending but it will come as quite a shock to most of you.

Summary: Unfortunate - Need to flip this one...
Review: For all people loving suspense, this is a nice addition to your collection, However, I do not like having to turn over a DVD in the middle of a movie, much less a thriller.
