Amazon.co.uk Review
The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that's both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening credits to the horrifying (and seemingly inescapable) concluding twist, director David Fincher immerses us in a murky urban twilight where everything seems to be rotting, rusting, or molding. The air is cold and heavy with dread. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are the detectives who skillfully track down the killer, all the while unaware that he has been closing in on them, as well. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey are also featured, but it is director Fincher and the ominous, overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere of doom that he creates that are the real stars of the film. It's a terrific date movie, for vampires. --Jim Emerson

This is one of the best films I have ever seen, it is a psychological thriller that has a twist right at the end. I have watched it countless times and have never become bored as I see something new every time I watch this movie. A must have for people who enjoy thrillers that are not predictable and the acting in this film is superb. I cannot rate this enough, if you enjoy reading or watching films about serial killers you will love this.

This dark look into the mind of a psychopath's mind from director David Fincher, is a master work in editing allowing the viewer to do the work with their own imagination and allowing the horror of what has transpired to burn into your mind, there are some genuine moments of shock as the victims are dispatched using the seven deadly sins mentioned in the Bible.
This film is completely dominated by the performance of Morgan Freeman as the near retired detective whose intellect intimidates all who come into contact with him, Brad Pitt plays the young eager newly promoted policemen who struggles to comprehend the ideas that Freeman character presents him, this powerful study into the disturbing reaches of the human psyche is not for the faint hearted but is entertainment for adults and the film will stay with long after you watch it...

I have seen this film about 10 or 12 times now, and still think it is a great watch. From the scratchey opening credits that make you feel like there is something sinister afoot, to the classic ending, its just simply a great cop / killer film that keeps you interested.
The two main cast members are perfect, Freeman as the grizzled old cop and Pitt as the young go getter.... the atmosphere of the film is heavy and dark, which also makes the story more compelling.
I have seen many films try and emulate the style of this film, but none come close.
If you have still not seen this film, do yourself a favour and buy it. Its worth having in your collection and if you are like me, will probably watch it once or twice a year.
IMO Brad Pitts best film role.

Great film of its time
Still grips me even though I know the ending. Can't believe it's a 1995 film! Clever film. ...and probably a little tame compared to today's standards. Well worth a watch though.
