Summary: One of the best movies of the 90's
Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all time and one of the best quality DVDs Ive ever seen. David Fincher got his rep from doing this movie. The way he shows such a dark image of the city and life in it.....just watch the movie. Each scene has such gruesome detail. The directing, the writing, the acting - just slammin'. Gwyneth Paltrow was wasted as she was only in the movie for 10 minutes or so but who cares. This movie builds with each scene as you think the cops get closer and closer to the killer. The ending was unexpected - dont let anyone ruin it for you. The DVDs image quality and sound are top notch. David Fincher is crazy about his dvds. Just watch this movie if you can stomach the scenes(which some cant) youll be glad you did.

Summary: I wonder about the sanity of some people
Review: The story goes that during preview screenings of 'Seven' an audience member, as he was walking out midway through, punched David Fincher, in another screening the audience chanted something along the lines of, "Kill the director." Now I can see why this downbeat (let's face it, depressing) film could inspire that kind of reaction in people but for me it did what a horror film should.Now this is definitly a horror film, not your usual detective/killer movie. The strength of the film is in the atmospherics created by the incredible production design and cinematography. On top of this is the way in which Fincher handles every scene with attention drawn to every bleak detail. It carried me through the range of emotions from sadness through fear and, yes, revulsion but overall it entertained me. Every-so-often I like to see a film like this, something which challenges me and Fincher's work is a masterpiece of the serial-killer/horror genre. Those looking for a redemptive ending should maybe view Michael Mann's excellent 'Manhunter' (one of my favourite films of all-time and one which would recieve 5stars). Those who feel that they are drowning in, "sick mind-trash" and are upset by the, "disturbing images dancing," in their brains should do the right thing. Turn yourself in for whatever heinous acts your neighbours dogs is asking you to commit. It's just a film people but a bloody good one.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This was most definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen! Yes it was a little gruesome, but overall I'd have to say it was suspenseful, interesting, and enigmatic.

Summary: humanity at its most grotesque
Review: Seven depicts rookie detective Brad Pitt teamed with seasoned pro Morgan Freeman in tracking down a killer who is murdering his victims due to one of the seven deadly sins which are: Pride
Lust
Anger
Greed
Gluttony
Envy
Sloth (The first letters almost spell the word "plagues", and these sins will plague you, as the nuns said in my Catholic high school!) Basically, there is no telling when and where the killer -- "John Doe" he calls himself --- will strike, just how many victims he plans to have. The "punishments", as he calls them, are gruesome and horrifying. John Doe periodically calls the detectives to mock them, but they can't trace him. This is a great film with standout performances by Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey. Just be prepared to see some pretty bloody scenes.

Summary: Suspenso y un final inesperado.
Review: Compré el DVD hace ya bastante tiempo, y es que desde hace mucho tiempo soy gran admirador de esta película.
El DVD está lleno de cosas que despiertan el interés de cualquier persona que considera esta una buena película y que tenido ciertas dudas acerca de la misma. Entre las cosas que se pueden observar en este DVD están los finales alternos (uno de ellos en bosquejos), gran cantidad de escenas no vistas en la película original (por ejemplo la apertura de la película en que Somerset busca una casa para retirarse), comentario de David Fincher de toda la película, explicación de los libros de John Doe junto con las macabras fotografías que nos ha costado trabajo olvidar, entre gran cantidad de otras extras que el disco trae que simplemente dejan la boca abierta de cualquiera.
El consejo es que si realmente disfrutaste de la película cuando acudiste al cine a verla, el DVD va a hacer no sólo que la disfrutes de nuevo, sino que disfrutes el proceso entero que llevó a la realización de la misma.

Summary: Great Mood - Boring Story
Review: The mood was set perfectly by Fincher. I loved some scenes such as the stomach in the plastic bag. However, I hate movies where serial killers kill people to some goofy formula. There was nothing compelling to killing people 7 deadly sins style. It was just boring coming across more and more dead bodies. I hate Kevin Spacey. He just has that lispy voice and blank stare as he does in every movie. There are Sesame Street characters that are more menacing than this. (Snuffalufagus and the Grouch are 2 examples. Heck, Burt and Ernie are as well. Ok, Elmo and the rest are as well!) I loved the macabre mood in this picture. Fincher did a great job of that. I really wanted to like the other aspects of this movie but the story just bored me. I liked the style including the credits scrolling opposite than normal but the story had no substance.

Summary: Like being stabbed in the heart with an icicle
Review: It really, truly is. There are very few movies that present this aura of hopelessness without making it too over-the-top or corny. Road To Perdition (the best film I have seen so far this year) is a movie that succeeds at this, and is one of the few that has done it since Seven. Instead of beating around the bush, Seven gets right into it, and introduces you to two very well-developed characters that are as different from each other as God and Satan. One is the cocky, overconfident David Mills, not so much a rookie, but definitly too young to know what he is doing (Brad Pitt in, I believe, the best performance of his career.) The other is soft-spoken, intelligent, by-the-book veteran William Sommerset, a man that has seen the ropes and knows which ones not to try and balance on. With a 400+ pound man tortured beyond anything either of them has ever witnessed, the detectives are off on the trail of a killer that is elusive, intelligent, ruthless, and, as Sommerset calls his worse characteristic "patient." The reason that this movie had such an impact with Hollywood and the general theater going public is the reason that a killer with such motives was never introduced with quite the level of ferocity. Certainly, we all have heard of Ed Gein and Jack The Ripper, both supposedly assassins of sin, but never has a character of such magnitude and with so many dimensions like John Doe been introduced. Even though Kevin Spacey's role was short lived, he deserved an Academy Award nomination for his performance. It was chilling to the point of hating it when it looked like he was looking at you. By the end, you are not only shocked, you are drained. When it seems that every horrible thing has happened, it just keeps getting worse. You seriously feel like you have been dried out and need water. This shows the movie's brilliance. You are drawn into the lives of characters that seem simplistic, but are developed on a very realistic level, especially Mills. The acting was excellent, the direction and set design are worthy of applause, and the script was written with power, a rarity in today's cinematic vision. You feel like these characters are people you know, and you feel for them. You laugh with them, and you certainly gasp and cry with them. This movie is one of the most amazing films ever to be produced in the last twenty years of film. David Fincher has, for the most part (with the exclusion of Alien 3 and Panic Room which both were big wastes of time) to be one of the most underappreciated and brilliant directors ever to come along. Brad Pitt is not just some pretty boy looking for the fast buck. The man knows how to act and does it very well. Morgan Freeman is impossible not to like in any role he is in and Gwyneth Paltrow's softness and beauty just make for the perfect touch to contrast with Kevin Spacey's sinister soul. This movie will always be remembered and is going to be a classic. Not so much because the content is like poetry, but because the content is real, and is something that no one ever saw before.

Summary: One of THE Best
Review: One of THE best DVDs and films. David "The Man" Fincher brought us a truly great mystery/thriller that is unforgettable. This film created Fincher and his style. It's truly a fine masterpiece by David. One of the best commentaries too, with Fincher, Pitt, and Freeman.

Summary: Seven
Review: From the opening credits, this movie is dominated by a sense of impending tragedy. As it progresses, you just think to yourself, "Oh, no. Please don't let this happen." This is aided by the performances of Brad Pitt (He proved here that he's more than just a pretty face) and Morgan Freeman (In my opinion, one of the greatest actors of our time). The story doesn't flinch from examining the darkest side of human nature, the part society chooses not to see. I am nearly immune to blood and gore, but I almost passed out when they went to the Sloth crime scene. Lust was almost as bad. Watch it, and you'll understand. For a horrifying look at the human psyche, watch Seven. Goes where even Silence of the Lambs feared to tread.
