Film review – Se7en

SPOILERS!!

The movie se7en is about two detectives, William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and David Mills (Brad Pitt) who is chasing a serial killer. William Somerset is close to retire but then this case comes up and him and David Mills, which is new in the department, follows the case. The killer commits his crimes based on the seven deadly sins - gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy and wrath. The movie takes place in a nameless city and the two detectives traces the killers every step. The first murder is about the sin called gluttony and then the murders just keeps coming in a rapid progression. The murder called John Doe (Kevin Spacey) turns him self in at the end, just so he can do his last murder to complete all the seven deadly sins. He says that he will show where the two last bodies are, but he will only show them to Somerset and Mills. When they arrive at the place John Doe says they are, which is far away from the city and anything else, there comes a car with a package to Mills. Somerset drives towards the car to try and stop it, he stops the car and when he looked in the package there is a head of Mills’ wife. John Doe envied the life they had, Mills and his wife, and that is the reason why he killed her. Mills ends up shooting John Doe. The two last victims was Mills’ wife and John Doe himself.

I’ll give the movie a 4/5 rating.
