A Review Of The Morgan Freeman Movie Se7en

Seven [Blu-ray]By Zachary Boyer

If you are taking a look at this particular piece, you are likely hoping to learn a little bit about the impressive movie "Se7en." Sure enough, there are many different things that you likely should know about this movie, and most of these will be addressed in the upcoming paragraphs.

You are going to be fairly warned in advance, though. This article will likely contain some spoilers to the plot of this film. In order to adequately do the film any justice in discussing it, such spoilers are going to be necessary. So if you have not seen this film, the movie and its plot will be discussed in full in the later paragraphs of this article.

You start off the film by meeting two of the main characters, Detective William Somerset and Detective David Mills. Somerset is a senior member of the force and is paired with the new blood, Mills, to help integrate him smoothly to the big city life as a detective. A short time later they are assigned to crime scenes that are unlike anything either of them have seen.

It involves a morbidly obese man who has been fed spaghetti until he literally burst open at the stomach, killing him. Somerset is called away to tend to another murder that was discovered, and Mills stays to round up evidence at the first. Somerset steps onto a crime scene of a powerful lawyer who was notorious for getting guilty men off for heavy compensation. Both detectives find a word at their crime scenes: Mills finds the term "GLUTTONY" and Somerset finds "GREED."

It is not a lengthy amount of time before the pieces reveal that these murders are relative to the seven deadly sins from Biblical teachings. So while they have discovered two, that leaves five that have already happened or will happen. Now it is a race against the clock to locate the next victims. This is a pursuit that ends more seconds too late than anything.

To add to the drama of the film, the main suspect known as John Doe gives himself over to Mills and Somerset and even offers up a full confession after he is able to take them to the location of the last two victims. They agree, and it isn't long before the lives of everyone left in the story will change forever, but you shouldn't hear about all of that from an article.

By watching the film, you can appreciate four incredible parts that were played by perfectly matched actors and actresses. The lead roles by Brad Pitt (Detective Mills) and Kevin Spacey (John Doe) are among the best of both of their careers. This is not to downplay the supporting roles by Morgan Freeman (Detective Somerset) and the role of Detective Mills wife, Tracy portrayed by Gwenyth Paltrow.

So, if you wanted to learn more about Se7en, than this should have given you a good introduction to the film. While there is certainly more to appreciate about this movie, you are going to have to learn about that for yourself. So put the kids to bed, and appreciate what so many others have deemed one of the best films of 1995, and likely the nineties altogether.
