Movie Review - 'Seven'


On UTV World Movies, i had the opportunity to catch a great suspense flick - Seven. I know its quite an old one, but it doesn't matter. The move's stll worth a watch.


Starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman,Gweneth Paltrow put up a great act. Brad and Morgan lay the lead, whereas Gweneth plays Brad's wife 'Tracy' in the movie. Kevin Spacey plays the role of the bad guy 'John Doe' who is mentally challenged.

The movie starts with two detectives - one about to retire(Played by Morgan Freeman) and another replacing him(played by Brad Pitt). They jointly investgate into a series of killngs.

There are serial killings going on in the city. Detectives William Somerset(Freeman) and David Mills(Pitt) are handed over the case to get into the depth of the matter.
During course of investgation, they find out that someone is trying to preach a message through the seven deadly sins.

As the movie continues, the viewer keeps on guessing whats going to happen next. The audience keeps on guessing what might happen next(but all in vain).

The last scene happens to be the best shock, Tracy is killed, and David comes to know she's pregnant.

Overall, i'd say that the movie is 'superb', a fine example of superior direction and story-writing. Its suspense is unprecedented.

I'd rate it 9 out of 10 - a must view for any action and suspense lovers. Especially for the fine acting by Freeman and Pitt(though initial acting by Pitt wasn't that great). They kept the story going.
