I watched this film back when it was released in 1995 and have seen it again recently on DVD and I have to say as suspense thrillers go this is a very good one as it not only repulsed me but kept me on the edge of my seat and almost behind it for a large part of the movie. However, a word of warning if you are squeamish at all this might ...  Read the complete review

Whereas I did enjoy watching Seven, I don't feel the need to brag about it like most people do. You can appreciate the amount of effort that has gone into making the film (particularly with Andrew Kevin Walker's writing), but then you analyse other things -- such things as Pitt's performance -- and wonder why people tend to rate it so ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to imagine that Se7en first came out 14 years ago as it still, to me, one of the best pyschological thrillers in film and one that all the recent decent cop/ thriller films should look to as a standard setter.
