Any fans of the David Fincher movie "Seven" starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman? Hard to believe it's now 25 years old. I've never found it to be a masterpiece or great film like so many do, but I do think it's a good movie. The last 20-30 minutes are top-notch in particular. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Se7en (1995) - 3 out of 4 stars"Dedicated detective (Freeman) breaks in his replacement (Pitt) during his last week before retiring--then stumbles onto a trail of a serial killer who's out to punish perpetrators of the seven deadly sins. Exceptionally well-crafted, intelligently written, and well-acted thriller...but also extremely unsettling, almost oppressive at times. Not much violence per se, but the film seems to wallow in the depths of human depravity it so passionately decries."  |

Fincher's best in my opinion. It's in my top 10.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Bleak and depressing but so gripping and re-watchable.

If you were Mills, what would you have done near the end of the movie?

If you were Mills, what would you have done near the end of the movie? I asked what would happen to Mills. Likely justifiable homicide with no charges brought against him. Likely also out of a job, too. |

If you were Mills, what would you have done near the end of the movie? Exactly what Mills actually did, which was blow that maniac John Doe away and I'm normally a mild-mannered person.

This movie is creepier knowing Kevin Spacey at the end wasn’t acting, he was just playing himself

Mills should have killed himself.
Would have been ironic and spread the disappointments to everyone.
John Doe got exactly what he wanted which was a bizarre conclusion.
If the aim was to motivate the old disillusioned cop to stay on the force, his partner's suicide could still serve the same purpose.

It was raining so hard the day I went to see this, just like it rains all throughout the movie. It was a stunner of an ending then, still is. Fincher put himself on the map with this one, for sure.  |

One of the best movies of the 1990s. I would call it a near-masterpiece.

Never caught the first six, but this was a great entry in the franchise.

LOVE Se7en.
I always hoped there would be a sequel (though I know it wont happen), because I always wanted to know what became of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freemans characters.

Because of all the rain? Get it?
Is this thing on?

Is this thing on? I never leave to pee during the movie. The last time I did it was because I was gonna hurl, that was in 1998. I'm so glad The Irishman was on Netflix so I could pause it if I had to.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Bleak and depressing but so gripping and re-watchable. I second that. It's on my shortlist of movies I've paid to see more than once in theaters.

Great movie.
It has a sneaky bit of hope peaking through the (seemingly) unending despair - and that’s why I love it.

Creepy movie. It disturbed me more than a lot of horror movies manage to.
