"Seven" by Yojimbo

A retiring detective and his young successor investigate a series of bizarre murders based on the seven deadly sins. The lukewarm reception for David Fincher's debut Alien 3 resulted in most writing him off as another style over substance hack from the MTV generation, but boy did he learn from his mistakes. No-one was expecting his follow up to be much of interest; let alone a virtual modern masterpiece. Fincher had clearly been studying the stylistic hallmarks of Ridley Scott, and the dark, brooding atmosphere crossed with artistic visuals are very much in his tradition. Although the formula of world-weary educated gentleman cop teamed up with a young hot head is hardly an original one, excellent performances and intelligent writing steer the material clear of cliche, and the imagery of ...

Se7en review

A film about solving a gruesome murder using the 7 deadly sins (each victim symbolizes gluttony, greed, pride, sloth, lust, envy, and wrath). The retiring Detective William R.

Before Nolan, there was FINCHER!!

David Fincher has established so much credibility over the years, he's become one of the greatest filmmakers of our time. He's found himself among the ranks of such class acts as Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino. Films such as Fight Club and Zodiac has proved he has the chops to make a great film, whether it be action (Fight Club), mystery (Zodiac), or drama (Social Network). And Se7en...well...it just proves my point even further.

Se7en focuses on two detectives: Hot shot David Mills (Brad Pitt) and soon to be retired David Somerset (Morgan Freeman). Their job: find serial killer John Doe. But it won't be easy. Each of Doe's victims has commited one of the seven deadly sins (Sloth, pride, gluttony, greed, envy, wrath, and lust) and Doe uses unique ways to kill them and is brill...
