Summary: Awful!
Review: What a horrible film. How could the people who created this mess justify the existence of this film? How many more disgusting, pointless films such as this one which look into the depth of human ugliness are going to be thrust out at the public and presented as creative masterpieces? What a waste!

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: *Se7en* is screenwriter Walker's "love letter" to the city of New York. And what a wonderful love letter it turns out to be!The acting is all around superb. Fincher's directing is brilliant. The portrayal of modern city life and human relations is very much on the mark - apathy. The extra features on the DVD have turned out to be very, very interesting thus far. The problem? The ending. It doesn't make sense. The first five deaths are supposedly because of the victims' own vices. The last two are because of someone else's vices. That alone makes the ending a disappointment - it seems that it was more for shock value than substance. Which is really too bad considering the great substantiative dialogue and interaction that occurs just previous to the finale. Walker should have spent more time coming up with an ending that actually fit with the rationale of the first five murders. The ending that he came up with is a let down. Other than that, the movie is superb. Five stars. Enjoy on an empty stomach :)

Summary: An Intruiging Mystery
Review: From the beginning, intruiges and never disappoints. The excitement and build-up of the film pay off with a satisfying conclusion that makes the movie "whole," in many senses. Without giving too much away, I'll continue. Se7en places Morgan Freeman in the role he knows best: disgruntled detective at odds with the world and society. Indeed, in many ways, Morgan Freeman has been cast in little else since this film, precisely because he does such a smashing job in it. Brad Pitt and the rest of the cast, too, are excellent, but Freeman's performance makes this film. In short: not for the weak-stomached, but the story is solid and the acting is superb.

Summary: A Flawless Thriller
Review: Brad Pitt collaborates with David Fincher once again in the gripping thriller, SE7EN. A wonderful script written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who collaborated with Jim Uhls on the writing of Fight Club, is brought to life by Director David Fincher. Perfect.

Summary: A disturbing yet undeniably brilliant film.
Review: In a virtual quagmire of cliched, poorly written serial killer films, SEVEN belongs in a small, select group of ones that worked. It represents the successful culmination of writing, acting, cinematograhpy and direction. The result is a profoundly disturbing and, at times, surreal film. Based upon a frighteningly intelligent premise, SEVEN begins rather mondanely. We are introduced to a horrific murder, and a pair of surprisingly cliched detectives. Luckily for us however, Freeman and Pitt are in fine form, and add as much dimension to Somerset and Mills as the script allows. And it is clear from the outset, that the world they inhabit is cold, dark, and almost perpetually wet. Indeed, the set direction is astounding; the city becomes another character, with filth and decay all but jumping out of the screen. Dark and almost exceedingly moody, the cinematography does an excellent job of establishing a world which bears witness to numerous atrocities, which form the basis of the film. And it is this latter point which once again emphasizes the nature of this film. Thankfully, Fincher and company have spared us much of the explicit gore, and left us with aftermath shrouded in gloom and shadow. As mentioned, the acting was above par on all accounts. However, special mention must go to Spacey for his haunting and restained performance as John Doe. Pay special attention during the conversation between Mills and Doe. However, ultimate kudos goes to Kevin Andrew Walker for his uncommonely intelligent script, which actually succeeds in profundity, without sounding didactic. Pulling it all together is David Fincher, who, with just a few films, has [justifiably] made a name for himself. For those who haven't, take time to view his following films. However, despite all the accolades, SEVEN remains one of the most disturbing stories ever set to film. It's conclusion, [which becomes more and more inevitable] leaves one with a foreboding feeling, and a little less hope for the human race. That said, one must remember that it is a film, and a very good one at that. For those looking for a brainy thiller, look no further.

Summary: This movie, and DVD, ROCKS!!!!!
Review: When i bought this movie I had'nt seen it but was convinced that it was good atleast. So I picked this up at a DVD store, got home and popped it in the player and watched it. When i had seen it I was convinced that this was a GREAT movie! This movie has got to be the best impulse buy I've did since Sleepy Hollow, maybe even The Abyss: Special Edition! Also, the DVD is on of the best DVD's ever! The video transfer is beautiful and crisp and i have'nt seen a single flaw yet. I have'nt had a chance to test sound fully yet (lack of surround sound system!), but that i can hear is great. The extras are good and intresting (4 audio commentary tracks!) and really makes the DVD even more worth buying. The only gripe i have about this movie is that it's not for everyone, but it was'nt as gory as i thought. Higly recommended, buy this NOW, you wo'nt regret it. Aleast I have'nt.

Summary: A crime shocker that falls short
Review: "Seven" is contrived and predictable, with none of "Silence of the Lambs'" suspense or narrative urgency. It tries to be artistic and cerebral, but ends up seeming pedestrian, even when trying to shock. Good acting by all the principals can't redeem the plot's artificiality. If you want to see Fincher's best by far, get "Fight Club."

Summary: Se7en up!
Review: This particular movie/DVD is ultra-awesome! The story and/or moralistic value of seven is enlightening, even though Brad Pitt is in it. Nevertheless, Brad Pitt practically plays himself, a superficial cop (minus the cop) who thinks the insane are plumb insane with no further intellect. Sorry, a anti-Brad Pitt rant. Anyway, you wouldn't be thinking about buying the DVD if you haven't already seen the movie, so here's the cool stuff: The extras in this dvd set are amazing! This is one of the rare DVDs that actually allows you to see the restoration process and even allows you to choose between the two!! They did so much work in remastering this film, unlike a lot of DVDs out there that have the lable "remastered" and actually aren't. You get 4 (oh sure, FOUR!) very cool/informative commentary tracks including one with David Fincher, choices between SEVERAL audio options; including DTS ES Discreet 6.1, yes... 6.1!! You also get deleted scenes that are interesting and not some extra shot of someone staring off into the corner before the scene that was actually in the movie. You get to change audio mixes for the opening sequence which really rocks and what-not. Plus, to top it off, you get a plethora of DVD-ROM (not Range Of Motion for all you physical therapists out there) stuff. Buy the DVD and get CREEPY!

Summary: A Work of Art.
Review: Rarely does a movie combine a revolutionary director ( Fincher ) with an ingenious script ( Walker ) and a cast including two academy award winners ( Spacey and Freeman ) and a nominated one ( Pitt for Best Supporting Actor in 12 Monkeys). The combined result is a modern classic.

Summary: Avoid at all costs
Review: Seven is a dark, brooding film, filmed in dreary colors, about a police search for a man intent on committing seven murders based on the 7 deadly sins. It is unbelievable, predictable and disgusting, a film with no redeeming features which should be avoided at all costs. It sets out to shock rather than entertain. You have been warned!
