Seven is a dark and fairly gripping film but not terribly original and the ending doesn't quite work.

Se7en is without any doubt one of the most intense criminal movies you'll watch! I personally enjoyed it a lot and without spoiling anything let me tell you... you'll be shocked! 7/10

Prepare yourself for an up-close-and-personal wallow in the most brutally repugnant murders imaginable. Sadists, masochists and necromancers should love it. For me it was about as enjoyable as a dive into a sewer.

Très bien réalisé (sauf dans les -quelques- scènes d'action) et d'une ambiance glauque et poisseuse, Seven ne parvient pourtant pas à faire de l'ombre au Silence des Agneaux, car tout y est beaucoup trop orchestré, plié, déformé et ajustéTrès bien réalisé (sauf dans les -quelques- scènes d'action) et d'une ambiance glauque et poisseuse, Seven ne parvient pourtant pas à faire de l'ombre au Silence des Agneaux, car tout y est beaucoup trop orchestré, plié, déformé et ajusté pour le grand bouquet final à la manière désobligeante d'un certain Usual Suspects. Ainsi, le scénario victime d'une telle contrainte afin de faire la part belle -la part du lion- au tout puissant machiavélique psychopathe ne cesse de trébucher au fil des jours et des meurtres successifs.

Les effets de manches et les lapins qui sortent du chapeau (ou d'une boîte), pourquoi pas, mais pas au point de prendre les spectateurs pour des cons, car ça commence à se voir -on est pas complètement cons. Quand même. Ce qui n'empêche pas d'apprécier ce vieux barbon de Morgan Freeman -qui n'était pas si vieux à l'époque !- dans son rôle habituel du flic philosophe au bord de la retraite, ni bien entendu le brillant Kevin Spacey dont la réputation n'est plus à faire.

On apprécie beaucoup moins l'erreur de distribution par contre, non les deux erreurs en fait : Gouinette Paltoc et surtout Brad Pitre, dépassé par les évènements de la première à la dernière image de la pellicule. Seven tout en restant intrinsèquement un "bon" polar sur le papier -quoique trop complaisant dans sa morbidité- est un film foireux, résultat logique de son infinie prétention.… Expand

The villain's "God made me do it" excuse is about as compelling as "the dog ate my homework", and the reason for his final victim choice is about as convincing as UFOs in an Ed Wood film; he would have remained a lot more menacing had they never shown his face. Still, the film is great up to that point.… Expand

Não é a primeira vez que vejo uma obra nesse estilo. Dois detetives com personalidades fortes e divergentes. Geralmente, um deles é mais racional do que "deveria", cético e não se contenta com o artificial, buscando sempre a profundidade. Até me lembrou a série "True Detective", na qual considero a primeira temporada uma obra prima. Mas diferente da série, um filme não tem tantos tempo para desenvolver os personagens, não com tanta complexidade. Seven faz isso da maneira que pode, enquanto cria um suspense e "atiça" a curiosidade pelos próprios crimes e o assassino.

Não acho que o mesmo tenha sido representado da melhor maneira, mas isso dai já é gosto pessoal, e de forma geral ele segue um padrão que talvez pra época não fosse tão "manjado".

E ah, é claro que ver Brad Pitt e Morgan Freeman no mesmo filme é sempre recompensador. Ótima atuação, como de costume. Mas isso apenas não se limita a eles. A própria atuação do indivíduo num certo crime é surpreendente.… Expand

The 1st shock is a result of brilliant acting and casting, and the 2nd, as good a plot twist as you'll find. The damp and dark, dungeony atmosphere of the movie doesn't add to the entertainment value (tho probably still the right decision), and I could have done with less rain, but the story itself is inspired, creative, and quite captivating from a biblical perspective. Brad Pitt actually stood out to me more than Morgan Freeman, but both were very easy to root for. The cat/mouse intellectual warfare and puzzle solving make you wish the movie would keep going the whole time. Make sure you walk out and enjoy the sun right after watching this!… Expand

That scene was so bad that when I saw it I could hardly believe it. As well as the one where the guy enters the barracks all covered in blood. It can't work that way, if you show up like that, you get stopped by the police before getting inside. Fincher's direction is talented but the film does not blossom, it is simply not credible, with a truly hateful ending.… Expand

the whole time..even for everything. The acting was pretty good, but the story was very weak.
the two detectives 'work' a case, and by work I mean go to some crime scenes, they only actually get any progress when they use a deus ex machina system to find out who the killer is. all his crimes are themed. and when they finally meet up with him, there is a pretty good discussion about what he's doing and why. and he says he has a big surprise that will 'change everything'. I'm not going to spoil what that is. but it just turns out to be a very generic 'chasing the killer' movie style ending.
before this event, one of the detective even says "you're noting important. you're just a weekend move, no one will remember you after a week" and that's exactly how the ending of this film is. Forgettable, unoriginal, and it dose not really connect with the progression with the rest of the movie.… Expand
