    This weirdly off-kilter suspenser goes well beyond the usual police procedural or killer-on-a-rampage yarn due to a fine script, striking craftsmanship and a masterful performance by Morgan Freeman.

    "Se7en" is a disturbing movie because of everything the movie pertains. From powerful performances by Freeman and Pitt to the creepy Spacey, the dialogue was also a intelligently written one too. Although the story may be hard to follow or understand, "Se7en" is a masterpiece, the godfather of all crime thrillers.… Expand

    Its not good but its not bad. Brad Pitt does a suprisingly bad job in this film and overacts quite a bit, Morgan Freeman is generic as well (neither good nor bad). Overall the film is a little interesting but its not that good.… Expand
