The quintessential thriller, Fincher's masterwork hasn't been matched since. By not witnessing the murders, the audience retains the perspective of the protagonists. Like them, we experience only the aftermath of the gruesomeness while the real impact of the film comes from the menacing (and classically noir) mood of hostility and complete and utter despair, brilliantly supported by both style, plot and characterization, all crystalizing the bleak theme of a world in utter disrepair. Perfection.

David Fincher doing what David Fincher does best! The actors all fit their roles perfectly, the story keeps you guessing, and the ending is truly haunting (if you don't already know what happens). I've always loved Finchers tone and directing style, and this was very much more of that. The end result is very entertaining, chilling, horrific, and oddly beautiful. Great film.

Se7en is one of the essential films of the 90s. It redefined the horror genre and established new techniques and conventions that shocked the public. It's a disturbing film which has poignancy in its core, but I wouldn't recommend to the faint of heart. It's grisly and graphic, but the gore is necessary for the film. It instantly became one of my favourites and I think it could easily pass as my favourite. An excellent thriller that will be recognized as revolutionary for years to come.

With a dark, menacing score that perniciously pulses from start to finish, an airtight ensemble cast that interacts with almost distressingly subtle nuance, and all the harsh lighting and sinister cinematography that has come to define the contemporary film noir, Se7en is absolutely one of the best crime thrillers ever created. Fincher's first true masterpiece, the story follows two thoroughly antagonistic New York detectives through a mélange of religion, literature, psychosis, and pure horror.

Macabre, enveloping mystery/thriller centred on confronting apathy and disconnection amidst depravity. The grim mood here is pervasive (dank buildings, dark clothes, rain), the set design and production outstanding, especially the killers abode. These cramped scenes lend impact to a sparse, open finale. Freeman is great, but Spacey's sermonising, exquisite. He owns the film in his brief scenes. The story structure grips as the count builds, gruesome discoveries beckon, the payoff hammering home.

Fantastic film. Freeman, Pitt and Spacey are all equally grand in it. The gritty style fits New York's dark underbelly perfectly. Certainly gross and grim with the brutal murders but if you can get through that you know you're watching a masterpiece.

Dark, innovating and deeply disturbing. A great thriller and one of my favorite movies. Pitt and Freemann make a perfect crime solving pair as they dive into the dark seedy underbelly of the city. A genious plot, where the journey is as good as the goal it self. When I saw it the first time I was on the tip of my seat waiting to see how the next sin would be manifested. Fincher when he is at his very best.

Nearly flawless in its mood. The last 25 minutes is one of the greatest endings, even after all the parodies and countless rewatches. This is a perfect example of how a director can take a single mood (in this case gloomy/grim) and encompass it into every square inch of the film.

This is what David Fincher does so well: updating New Hollywood aesthetics by adding new cinematic storytelling twists. Se7en draws a good deal from The Exorcist--as an idealist and a cynical mentor face off against a force of evil that makes them question their worldviews up until a gutpunch of an ending. And likewise, the technical skill is amazing, especially in photography that adds to every scene. The film was groundbreaking at the time (and constantly imitated) and continues to age well.

Cop thrillers -- especially ones with philosophically-minded serial killers -- are a dime a dozen, but this is a good one. I found Kevin Spacey's character more intriguing than most characters who murder out of some twisted ideology. The cast is great.

2. An unforgettable cinematic experience. The film is a textbook example of craftsmanship and meticulous professionalism. An incredible pace in the tradition of Polanski's best, although it may very well be corrected to "in Fincher's best." The film blends a gripping, morbid atmosphere with pan on acting by a great cast, and the unforgettable dialogue, interactions and set pieces are sublime. I can't praise the film enough, albeit the last few scenes fall a little short for me every time.

This was so engrossing that the ending was almost a letdown since it was all over. Kevin Spacey was onscreen for a small amount but made the most of it. I wish I saw more development from Freeman's character but what did I expect from someone on the verge of retirement? The action sequences were well done. Fav scenes: SWAT storming the building; Pitt and Freeman chasing Spacey in the rain.

Style and whole atmosphere in the movie fits plot and story perfectly. This movie is maybe dark and hostile to watch at times, but if you want to treat yourself with a brilliant thriller you should watch it and endure at times if its hard cause eventually it will pay off. Progression is brilliant as well and work of leading acting duo is great, but the 3rd one that comes in last half an hour is even better for me! Despite couple flaws this movie is still brilliant work of filmmaking.

Top badass moment? Why are they sins? They sound great to me. To be honest, I thought this was a Star Trek origins film, but there was no sign of Jeri Ryan and no one gets assimilated. Another of life’s bitter disappointments. Also, this film would have been so much more fun if Morgan Freeman’s character had been called Boon. Or is that idea… just the worst? (BTW, the box contains a DVD of "Cool World".) 1 decapitation (although you don’t actually see it), no cats or chainsaws.

Fincher establishes the urban setting as Purgatory on Earth, with its endless downpour and gloomy, gothic tone. What plays out is an examination of bankrupt morality and weakening principles in the face of evil and despair, all cleverly wrapped into a police procedural thriller. Fincher's best film to date.

Unfairly regarded as just another cop thriller, Seven transcends the confines of its genre and its cliched premise to become a moody masterpiece. Relentlessly bleak, viewing this film is not unlike reading Dante's Inferno, as you're dragged deeper and deeper into an ugly and nightmarish world. The cinematography is outstanding, the cast is phenomenal, and the ending is killer.

Seven is one of the greatest, darkest and sludgiest films of the 90s, and one of the most suspenseful films ever made. It locks you into a long stage of astonishement, grudge, hate and of course, fear. Everything just comes together so perfectly, and it's one of those crazy chain of events that keeps you guessing until the grisly final scene. Incredible.

Although this is a thriller, it has a horror sensibility to it, which I think is very clever. What sums up being a horror fan is, I think, knowing you shouldn't look, but wanting to anyway, and Se7en has you feeling that in spades. It's a taut, slick, gritty thriller with top-drawer performances and a denouement that has the power of a well aimed punch to the gut.

What site doesn't know the correct title of a modern classic?! It's Se7en! Anyway. This is David Fincher at his best. A great director can take a decent but formulaic script and make it into something truly unique. By focussing on "in-between"-scenes, Se7en is like 2001s star-sequence, a guided tour through a world where the idealists are punished, people are lonely and miserable, the rain is relentless and the sun blinds the eye - with Fincher as your guide. Compellingly unpleasant masterpiece.

Seven is a film not quite as focused on solving the mystery as it is with telling a compelling story about the personality contrast between two police detectives. The characters play off one another quite well, and create drama with just each other. The murders aren't showing in progress, like most films, but the aftermath is shown instead. This creates some bone-chilling scenes, which make the film quite dark in nature. The ending is used in a great way to conclude an already dark film.

Se7en is a fantastic movie. Utterly brilliant crime drama. The only reason that I did not give it a perfect score is because of it's predictability (especially near the end) and lack of a truly exceptional plot. The plot which was not perfect, was still quite enthralling and emotionally brutal. The cast however stole the show, with Pitt's every-man, Freeman's wise cop, and Spacey's perfect murderer.

I like Sesevenen. Mind you, I think the film's strengths, and its legacy, are contained in the apartment chase scene and the final moments. It is criminal how hot Brad Pitt is, despite wearing the worst mid-90s fashions. Every single horror film from the mid-90s featured a scene in an industrial club.

Seven is one of the finest thrillers of all time and one of David Fincher's best films. Morgan Freeman gives the performance of his career, Brad Pitt gives one of his finest performances also and Kevin Spacey steals all of his scenes. His monologues in particular are disturbingly breathtaking. Atmospherically I can't recall many other films as engaging and suspenseful as this. The overall direction is superb & the stunning cinematography realistically captures how evil this unknown place is.

Almost 20 years after its release, this movie is so well crafted that it still terrifies me. Excellent chemistry between Freeman and Pitt. Loved the way the story builds up to the almost inevitable finale - Brad Pitt is simply awesome! This movie is a must-see, and a personal favorite of mine. - Fantastic.

There are some scenes in this movie that really haunt me to this day. It's a shame our modern day equivilent is the damn "Saw" series, and what a waste of movie screen that is.

This film does the remarkable in making me feel sorry for Gwyneth Paltrow. Also still found it gripping even though I had spoiled myself on the ending. Who knew Kevin Spacey could do creepy so well? Oh.

Utterly terrifying; one of Fincher's several great movies. This is the kind of thing he does best - also featuring some great work from an absolutely terrific cast. I saw this for the first time as a 16-year-old, at midnight, with all the lights off, alone in my parents' house. That probably colors my opinion somewhat... but that's just not an experience you forget.

Virtually perfect film. A really dark piece of filmmaking that was so influential to the next decade and beyond. What appears to be a fairly standard 'buddy cop' serial killer hunt turns out to be anything but, and the plot 'twist' which changes the film from being a thriller to a horror is genius. Unless you have a weak stomach (there are some pretty disturbing scenes) you simply have to see this film. It's a classic

It's like if you took all the 90s thrillers (I think half of them starred either Freeman or Ashley Judd) and distilled just what was great about them. It's not very original, but it does everything well.

I've probably seen this movie more times that I'll need to for a lifetime, but it's still awesome. Sick and really terrifying, with great performances by all involved.

David Fincher achieves what Roman Polanski fell visually short of - modern Film Noir.

Fincher directs the shit out of fatalist neo-noir story set in rainy city with no name. Twist meh. TRIVIA: Crimes now resemble Hannibal (TV). Lots of heavy-handed bits: bloated Freeman's talks with Gwyneth and lousy conveniences to describe a world that deserves doom (Freeman in cab watching man having heart attack; saying he made his wife abort because couldn't raise a person in this dirty planet). Chase is peak Fincher. Build-up aces - Freeman laughing at Mills' ap, Doe's speech in cop car.

One of the most atmospheric, suspenseful, and intense movies I've ever seen. Fincher's direction, Walker's script, and Khondji's photography are all pretty much perfect. As far as the cast goes, Gwyneth Paltrow is the only one out of place, but Kevin Spacey makes up for it with arguably his best performance.

One of my favorite directors of this generation is David Fincher, and this film demonstrates why. Seven is tense, it is dark, and it has tremendous payoff. Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Kevin Spacey all turn in some of the best work of their careers here. Fincher's direction is grisly and gruesome, but it fits the film perfectly, making the viewer cringe all the way to its pitch-perfect finale that is one of the best endings of all time.

Though his methods are extreme, in the end the moral truth of the serial killer's message reignites a cop's passion, to fight for what is right: sex-workers and fat people are, like, the worst, right?

Incredible. Simple as that. From the suspense, to the writing, the characters, the performances, the dark and influential visual style, Fincher's impeccable direction, and of course the ending.

In my top five films of all time. An absolute masterpiece. Sure to be a classic. One of the best endings of all time and it was a mistake. Fincher was sent the wrong script by the studio and then he and Pitt said they would drop out if the ending was changed. This film, along with Twelve Monkeys and Fight Club showcased Brad Pitts superb chops and the 90s belong to him. Dark, twisted, beautifully shot, directed by someone who absolutely adores his craft. A must watch for lovers of film.

A film so dark that even during the day the streets look like most noir films at their bleakest moment. This is not a film you want to watch if you're having a bad day. This is a very much a film about the darkness in the human soul and how it exists in all of us. It's a very nihilistic film and only ever shows any brightness to later make the darkness even worse. It's a movie that's like the nightmare the buddy cop genre has when it sleeps.
