Product Description A retiring cop and his replacement track a psychotic killer who's using the seven deadly sins as a guide. Starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow. .com The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal-maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that's both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening credits to the horrifying (and seemingly inescapable) concluding twist, director David Fincher immerses us in a murky urban twilight where everything seems to be rotting, rusting, or molding; the air is cold and heavy with dread. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are the detectives who skillfully track down the killer--all the while unaware that he has been closing in on them, as well. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey are also featured, but it is director Fincher and the ominous, overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere of doom that he creates that are the real stars of the film. It's a terrific date movie--for vampires. --Jim Emerson

Very good movie, deserve to watch.
Morgan Freeman, my favorite actor, with personality. He is acting in a few movies as an alert detective & this one is another example of it. Brad Pitt, is so typically acting negativity against Freeman positivity, facing a natural congenital psychopath. It is not surprising who is finally being hugely damaged at the end of this movie, the alert detective, a nutty associate or a psychopath.

Amazing film superb on blu ray
David Fincher is a director who has had an amazing career with his latest highlight being THE SOCIAL NETWORK. But a film that was praised by the critics but overlooked at the Oscars is one of his very best - SE7EN. It is amazing to believe that it came out in 1995. It was a ratrity in its time being a true horror film while at the same time being an intense, intelligent deep psychological thriller. The blu ray is amazing and the film certainly stands the test of time. The movie is an absorbing, shocking and frightening tale of society, man, sin and the fine line that there is between good and evil and lives on in grand style on this glorious blu ray. The film is dark and takes place in a city with no name. Everything is aging, decrepid and depressing. But the black/white levels on the blu ray are superb and the detail and clarity are amazing throughout. Colors though subdued are still very realistic and pop naturally as do skin tones. The crispness of the pictures adds a whole new level of intensity to the film. And the audio is a mindblower with its 7.1 lossless DTS track. Dialogue is strong and present and surround speakers are put to excellent use. The disc also comes packaged in a superb digibook excellently crafted with much info on the film. There are also tons of extras on the disc.I highly recommend SE7EN. This is a film that is indeed a classic. It has standout performances by Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey. It is also a film that is not gratuitous in its horror. It serves a purpose and the way it is utilized makes it linger with you that much longer. This film is so well crafted in every aspect that repeat viewings will be a must. I remembered the whole story line when I first watched this blu ray and it in no way ruined the experience. The knowing of things actually added to the trepidation and appreciiation of how superb the film actually is.Luckily I received my blu ray packaged in a cardboard box but I have had the experience many have had here with other films from Amazon where bubble wrap packaging ruined a digibook. Remember that you can rate the packaging of the shipment in your Amazon account and they do listen. Also if it is damaged in transit Amazon will let you return it for another. Don't let them off the hook if it was not packaged properly. They do provide hassle free returns and stand behind their products 100% covering all return charges.
