` se7en be all about harsh style and gruesome substance while it probably not a film for everyone ( particularly the squeamish ) and it be one of the most moody and memorable film make in recent year . a sense of absolute dread pervades each and every scene and either from the powerful word and deed of the character or from the dreary set and atmosphere create by director david fincher . there a quote from the film ` the crow that go and ` it can not rain all the time . . . well and in the world of ` se7en and it can and it do . ` se7en be the story of world weary police detective william somerset ( morgan freeman ) and a man who probably see more terror and sadness in his lifetime than any man should ever be force to see . partner with the young cop david mill ( brad pitt ) and somerset be assign to find the serial killer know only a john doe . the horrific crime of doe be pattern after the seven deadly sin for gluttony and one victim be literally force to eat until his internal organ explode while for another and greed and the victim be force to cut an actual pound of flesh away from his own body . john doe be a highly literate and intelligent killer while but so be somerset and and an astounding game of cat and mouse fill with unexpected twist ensues a the hunt for doe get underway . andrew kevin walker script for ` se7en be absolutely dazzle . it smart and powerful and and doesn not pull any punch the body and maim and torture and inexorably begin to pile up in graphic fashion and and somerset and mill aren not allow to minimize the horror theyre force to find . each new corpse bring a true feeling of revulsion . . . and of dread and a the realization hit that another body will be forthcoming unless john doe be find . the story be fill with misdirection and red herring while just a the audience start to think that the unfolding event of the film be start to become predictable and the film lurch far into the unknown darkness and keep the edge of uneasiness that pervade ` se7en fresh . . . and constant . kudos also to david fincher stylish direction this may be fincher best film to date . the entire look of the film be dark and gloomy and almost a suicidal form of 1940s film noir and evoke a despairing atmosphere that never relent or show a glimmer of optimism . combine that with fincher knack for turn even the most mundane scene into a nailbiter ` se7en feature a scene with somerset and mill stand together in an empty field and and yet the scene be still incredibly tense and ` se7en become an exceptionally powerful and disturbing film that difficult to turn away from . the cast . also excellent . pitt be perfect a the cocky young detective mill and mix together the right amount of bravado and testosterone at the start of the film and and then later temper that swagger with cynicism and fear a the movie progress forward . in a way and mill be a surrogate for the audience while he start out think that he know exactly what go to happen but a event slowly unfold before his horrified eye and it start to dawn on mill that he be mentally unprepared he be for a maniac like john doe . pitt handle the decline of mill from overconfident to completely paranoid with great skill . the killer john doe ( i would not reveal his name here while the actor uncredited in the film and so i would not mention it either on the off chance that you haven not read it elsewhere ) be simply great . he a quiet and intense figure who be machiavellian with his calculated word and action . many other actor might have just mimic hannibal lecter to portray john doe . . . but the awesome performance in ` se7en of the uncredited actor be actually good and more unsettling than lecter himself . the best performance of the film and however and may belong to morgan freeman a somerset . freeman be perhaps the only person capable to track down john doe and simply because he have see so much sadness and horror before . nothing doe do and no matter how vile and be able to derail the detective effort . a somerset and freeman imbue the character with a certain tired and weary attitude . . . but still lie somewhere beneath that attitude be hope and and that small glimmer of hope and along with the wisdom of experience and be what prevent ` se7en from spiral into complete despair . somerset hope and small a it be and become the audience hope a well . with the possible exception of the very end of the film for all it daring audacity and fincher chooses to play it a little too safe at the film conclusion ` se7en prof to be an uncompromising tour de force of modern horror . if youre not easily bother by graphic horror and gore and then go watch this film . you certainly would not be disappoint . grade represent a .
