When 'Se7en' was released back in 1996 it signalled the emergence of David Fincher as a director to look out for. Quite, quite brilliant and guarenteed to stay with you long after the final credits have rolled this is so much more than a serial killer movie. Brad Pitt, here proving that there is much more to him than just a pretty face, delivers a quite outstanding performance with Morgan Freeman on top form as the world-weary Detective Somerset. What sets it apart from all the other identikit thrillers is we never see the killer in action - the audience, like Mills and Somerset, only ever see the victims AFTER they have been killed. This way a lot of the horror is left to form in the audiences mind and the film avoids the usual stalk/slash template so often apparent in the genre. And then comes the ending....quite breathtaking in its conclusion and guarenteed to leave the audience gasping. If you have yet to experience 'Se7en' then frankly where have you been?
