Seven Reviews

Seven Stars

Seven is probably Brad Pitt's finest achievement to date. Morgan Freeman is, as always, absolutely breathtakingly good and top marks to David Fincher for an epic journey into obsession, the grotesque and twisted morality. Seven is a detective story - It is a movie about two detectives, with Freeman as the wise, learned retiring cop tempering the maverick, young wild card Pitt. The two characters are forced to work together by circumstance rather than choice and thus the relationship is, at times, strained. A killer is on the loose causing a spate of deaths (well, Seven to be precise) across the City which are related to the Seven Deadly Sins. The viewer is taken on a journey into the mind of the killer and into the minds of those hunting him - Well worth renting. If you enjoyed this movie - read Complicity by Iain Banks (don't bother with the movie version). Another sterling performance by Brad Pitt can be seen in Twelve Monkeys

bonus disc is total waste of time

The bonus disc carries little information about the title and is not worth watching. Should not be sent out as a rental.

i dont know

I never watched as i deleted so i didnt have the dvd

Seven Out Of Five

What can you say about a film designed to leave you speechless? That it entertained? That it had a plot twist or two?

Well, Seven is that and a whole lot more. Everyone is on form, from Morgan Freeman's informed and weary police detective, to Gwyneth Paltrow's depressed newlywed and loyal wife. But special mention must go to Brad Pitt. Often mistaken as a pupil of the Keanu Reeves 'to pretty to be a REAL actor' school, Pitt's acting abilities are often overlooked. Here, he is a standout, carrying the film on his admittedly broad shoulders.

This film has its twists, certainly, but it won't so much surprise you as completly draw you in. Far from watching the action unfold, you'll be as involved in trying to solve the case as anyone, and, as the seven deadly sins unfold in front of your eyes, each disturbing and unsettling in their own ways, Seven will leave a mark on you, and coming away from it will leave a hollow, empty feeling.

Only then will you realise the brilliance of what you have just witnessed.

seven

i did not like this film, i thought it was boring

total waste

Bonus disc is a waste of good dvd viewing time and should not be rented out

disc didn't work

disc didn't play at all. It just starts, shows initial warnings etc and then stops.

This is not a movie it?s the free DVD which comes with the real one!

Outstanding

Se7en is brilliant. Superb original story, with a great twist at the end.

The acting is, of course, top notch, with great performances from Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and one of my favorite actors, Kevin Spacey.

The perfect partner for Se7en is Saw, rent them both.

A cliche filled non-entity.......

My expectations of this film were not met by half, instead of calculating thrilling narrative to force the horror upon us it seemed to be rather patronising.Trying to make us absorb some important, but obvious life lessons.

Rent with caution, if you are looking for some classic frights I suggest the Shining.
