Chris Stuckmann reviews Se7en, starring Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow. Directed by David Fincher.
I just watched it the other day for the first time! I've been hearing the "what's in the box" line for years and had no idea what it was all about! I'm so glad it wasn't spoiled for me because I loved the F out of this film!
Hey terbea
Your at 1 mil bro
Love ur vids
It was ruined for me and that made the ending super suck
Hey now you are famous.
Wonder how much subs you had 5 years ago
I thought it was his wife head.
Kevin Spacey was ridiculously good in this movie.
you mean in every movie he is in?
What about Nine Lives?
Yessss!
Yessss!
It’s a shame he’s a piece of shit irl.
sloth terrified me.... same with lust!
+Kire Moonchild I couldn't do it. The lust murder. John Doe would have had to kill me.
What were they?
The Lust scene was just brilliantly done. David Fincher directed Se7en to perfection. My favourite director, and Se7en is my favourite film alongside The Dark Knight.
wrath was obviously the worst,
Honestly gluttony disturbed me the most
I've always pronounced the title of this movie as "sesevenen"
That's my username in League of Legends lol
I pronounce it that way too.
LOL
ME TOOOO
OMG, so true. I thought
I don't know about anyone else, but I think David Fincher could pull off an R-rated Batman movie.
You know nothing about film if you think that.
+Dmitry Ivanov ur mad xD
I wish he directed Suicide Squad.
Matt Mcandrew That would've also been awesome. Except his movies aren't as colorful and focus on being more dark and mysterious.
Reggie Lovato Which is exactly what I wanted from Suicide Squad. lol
DETECTIIIIIVE!!!
Stp
chills.
When i saw this movie for the first time my mouth hit the floor when i saw who the killer was. Fucking mind blowing.
Damn, beat me to it!
You're looking for me...
To this day, Seven is a movie that looks that it could take place anytime. It's timeless and the killings are sick. The killer is priceless and perfect. The actor who does the role of the killer does it PERFECT. Damn he is scary in this film
That killer is played by Kevin Spacey, and he is of course perfect in the film.
+Jake G 2187 I think he didn't mention it because it's basically a spoiler, and this is a spoiler free review.
The last time i watched this movie i remember trying to figure out what time period it was set in, but it's so fuckin elusive. The clothing and diegetic music seems 40s, the technology is pretty current for the time, the mention of abortion probably points towards 70s or later, the reference to jodie foster and then yoda means at least '80. I think it's intentionally misleading haha
@@unhelpfulrevelations7989 I love your comment. You have a really good eye.
Yup. Kevin Spacey, who played Lex Luthor and Hopper plays this dude in this movie.
I want to check it out!!
It also has one of the best opening title sequences ever made.
yeeesssss!
The funniest thing is, me and my friend are really creeped out by the song that plays in the opening scene. The song is called "Closer" and it is basically about bondage and really violent sex. But, the actual song is played differently, and I didn't know it was the song while I was watching, and I heard the last line "You Bring me Closer To God" and I was mind blown, because I'm really freaked out by that song
Sean Johnson The original is by Nine Inch Nails, the remix was unreleased for the longest time, but it has now surfaced and you can listen to it on Spotify. Look for the Closer - Unrecalled mix. If definitely set the tone for the movie!
And one of the best final line for a movie. the Hemingway quote
It’s called “Closer (Precursor)” and it was remixed by the band Coil. It’s on the Closer single CD.
The lust victim had my skin crawling...
Eliot McCann They didn’t even show it properly I had trouble understanding what happened.
@@sanjayraju988 I agree I just watched it again since I was 10 now 33 and I'm still lost about the murder for lust.
Sanjay Raju how did you not understand it? They CLEARLY showed the picture of the device, and then the guy with a blanket on him with the device still attached, and the guy screaming “get this off of me!”....seriously guys, try paying better attention to the details in the film. The director doesn’t need to spoon feed you. The fact that fincher DIDNT actually show the lust kill taking place, but only the aftermath makes it all the more disturbing.
@@greggately5782 Another thing was the text. He said " ( I translate from the German Version because I live in Germany and saw it in German, so the spelling could be different than the english Version ) Oh God Ohhh God he had a gun to my head and told me to fuck her. And Arggghhh by god I did fuck her, Oh god, oh god. God I must say the actor that performed the scene was great. You could feel the horror and fear he feeled as he performed this horror act. He was sweaty and was stuttering and shaking so bad. You could just feel the horror the entire time.
Eliot McCann and that was when the deed happened off screen
This film is a masterpiece in my opinion. Everything about it is just first class. Seriously creepy intro with disturbing music really sets the tone, and the film is really creepy from start to finish. When I saw this in the cinema, I was floored. Nothing beats the first viewing. Afterwards, when women were lining up for the bathroom, they were silent. No one spoke afterwards. I've never seen this kind of reaction to a movie before or since. It was weird. But this movie just felt so real. It's so well made. I love it, but it creeps me out.
yes, you're right and i wish something like that would come to the cinemas again! since i'm old enough to visit movies like those i've never experienced something comparable to it! sadly... the dark/gritty but still realistic movies have not been good eversince i'm 18+ years old.. (well drive was, but it looks and sounds kinda fancy, that's not what i mean.) seven hits you to the bone with every part of it.. i would have loved to hear the metronome in the cinema! my father told me it sounded fantastic
Absolutely. Once you seen this film you never really forget it. Extremely well made and extremely well acted.
1995 was the year of great crime films: Se7en, Heat, & The Usual Suspects. All three are highly recommended for fans of The Dark Knight (2008). You can definitely see the influence. The city in this film can pretty much be assumed to be Gotham, and the antagonist has the tendencies of a Batman villain as well. Only more sadistic given the hard R-rating.
Aseril ???
Harsh Parmar That's a decade, actually. lol But yeah, 1994 alone had The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Lion King, Leon: The Professional, Natural Born Killers, Ed Wood, Speed, True Lies, The Crow, Interview with the Vampire, Drunken Master 2, The Mask, Stargate, Legends of the Fall, Heavenly Creatures, Fist of Legend, Clear and Present Danger, Clerks, Dumb & Dumber, etc... But a ton of audience favorites came from the 80's as well.
***** Movie, not film. Quit that wannabe hipster shit.
Aseril Look who's talkin'. Film, movie, flick, etc... who the hell cares? Four letters are more convenient to type than five.
***** Sure if you want to use that excuse for your wannabe hipster form of talking. Go right ahead little buddy.
‘the world is a beautiful and worth fighting for, i only agreed on the second part
The fact we never get to know what city this is allows me to imagine it being Gotham before Batman is around. It's fun.
Matt Mcandrew i watched the film with this in mind & it was such a great experience watching this movie
For some reason I assumed it was New York but Gotham is basically a dark version of New York so Gotham is a good match for this film
Matt Mcandrew his wife said that they moved from upstate so I just assumed it was NYC lmao, but I kinda like that they don’t specifically say it
I imagined it as Gothem as well
No the setting of this movie is too dark for a city like Gotham. The killer in Seven makes Heath Ledger’s joker seem colourful and light hearted. No Superhero tale could ever be set in an environment this vile.
I wish you did a longer video with spoilers for this movie since almost everybody's seen it and you said it's one of the greatest of all time
Mmm Mmm I haven't
Mmm Mmm I got it in dvd but haven't watched it
Grumpy Monk Why would you buy a movie if you’re not going to watch it
I havent. Probably going tonight though.
I fell asleep a few minutes before the end. What was in the box?
mills: what do you got?
somerset: a dead dog
John Doe: I didn't do that 😂😂
cracks me up each time
Well no, of course he didn't. He's just a human, not a monster
might've been the only joke in the whole movie and it was hilarious
@@mkn.567 personally I liked "this ain't even my desk" better, but that was the only other joke
surprise, it's Mills' dog
that part had me on the floor dwllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
'John Doe has the upper hand'. I think this is Freeman's finest hour.
SPOILER!!!
This movie has several hints for the ending if you notice. I remember watching it the first time, after they discovered the killer is that reporter that had took picture of Mills, I immediately knew either him or his wife would die at the end. In that stair scene, John Doe was pushed by Mills after took a picture of Mills and then Mills, on his rage, spelled his last name for John. Later, in the alley chase scene, after realized his place has been exposed by 2 cops (Mills and Somerset ), John about to kill Mills then heard Somerset called Mills and remembered he has heard this name before so John decided to spare Mills's life. John has a picture of Mills and his last name, he can easily find out everything about Mills. In the car, on the way to the place John said has 2 bodies, John intensified pissing off Mills and said Mills will be remember after this event, that's the hint for Mills's rage or wraith will be John's last masterpiece.
I guessed whenever Wills wife on the screen I know something will happen to her
U missed one thing.i remember just before John doe surrenders ,when the detectives are entering the office a lady comes to Mills and says he has two missed calls from his wife.he ignores it.a little detail.
Edit: someone's here watching a really old movie review and reading replies to comments.gosh u have so much of time.
Why did he kill mills's wife?
I caught on right around Pride
@@sehansamudaya3779 because John doe himself is the 6th deadly sin ENVY. He envy Mills simple life
And eventually if Mills kill him, Mills will be the 7th sin, which is wrath or revenge
I love the scene when they’re going out to the countryside and John Doe is confessing his crimes. The police car cage is used like a confessional booth lattice. It’s very fitting given the themes of the movie.
Wow, nice catch! Probably intended by Fincher too, given the Catholic thematic elements of the film.
I'm so sad I never got to see this movie before finding out about the ending. It's still riveting, but I wish I could have experienced it in all it's glory.
Me too. I was too scared to watch this as a kid, so instead I read the plot on wikipedia. Bad move!
Must be the only one who didn't enjoy the movie as much as all seem to do...
And the ending was kinda obvious.
Franco Sierra it's funny cause I felt like Max Payne in 2nd game is dressed EXACTLY like Brad Pitt
One PunchMan How the ending ties into Envy and Wrath isn't obvious at all.
Same
This is such a great movie. My favourite thriller ever. Gone girl is probably my second favourite thriller. Fincher is a legend.
A legend indeed
Fincher has gone on record to call Gone Girl a satire
Gone Girl a thriller? You already figure out what the hell is going on half-way through.
Respect Zodiac pls
I prefer zodiac to gone girl but I do agree fincher is a legend
Seven: A+
Fight Club: A+
Panic room: haven't seen
Zodiac: A
The social network: A+
The girl with the dragon tattoo: haven't seen
Tgwadt is dope bruh..i hope u've seen this in the 6 years
The game is pretty good too
Lmao sup fellas, ye I’ve seen all his movies except alien 3 now. They all very dope, luckily I don’t comment shit like this anymore my god
@@spinZ186 thanks for responding lmao this was interesting ..also it aint cringe at all
@Sarcastic DudeIts ok I like it better than Alien 4
you kno the films good when chris doesnt read the title "se-seven-en" like he did with fan4stic
니악 Or Tak three en...
Or scre-four-m.
Please do the same for Quentin Tarantino in the lead up to the Hateful Eight.
Kill Bill Vol.1&2 Pulp Fiction Inglorious Basterds reservoir dogs.
Yea that's a good idea mate
+Who Cares Deathproof?
+GunsNStuff100 Deathrpoof is awesome
+Who Cares He also wrote the script for Natural Born Killers
Can't really remember this movie, but i know ive seen it. Going to have to re watch it now :-)
I saw you in the Fight Club review.
Fancy seeing you here!
Lucky you. I wish i could erase it from my memory so i can enjoy it again. I hope you did.
The "city" could possibly be Gotham without Batman. Haha!
And now Will be probobly getting this type of movie in the next batman movie
Joshua Theodore Setyawan can confirm based off the new trailer lol
funny people are already making comparsions to it.
Great Analysis Chris, as always. Here are my top 10 favorite movies of all time:
10: Dancer in the Dark(2000)
9: Barry Lyndon(1975)
8: Metropolis(1927)
7: Carrie(1976)
6: Citizen Kane(1941)
5: Rosemary's Baby(1968)
4:A Clockwork Orange(1971)
3: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
2: Psycho(1960)
1: The Shining(1980)
Take me 3 years to finally decide what are the best movies ever(in my personal opinion).
You definetly like the guy you share surname with :)
how can the shawshank redemption not be on there
@@charliebohacik5219 Because it's his favourite movies list not yours.
Watch "the best offer". It's much better
This, silence of the lambs, and american psycho are my favorite freaking serial killer movies ever!!!!
So true! Those Are my favorites too :)
I honestly think silence of the lamb is overrated.
Tuosma It's a good movie! Anthonoy Hopkins gives a incredible performance:D But it's not as scary as it was when it came out IMO:)
Manhunter!
silence of the lambs is overrated
"Drenched in dread" Perfect description of the atmosphere of Se7en. What a great phrase.
Easily one of the greatest films ever made.
I think the ending escalated it from a 7 to a 9 for me. It gave a whole new meaning to the rest of the film as well.
Neel Parmar similar to usual suspects. The twist ending made it a great movie
No. Its boring.
if there were different actors director the film would just be ok..the directing and acting sells the film hard...its a 6/10 idea that gets elevated to a 9/10 easily because of the talent working on it
This film sucked
This has been one of my favorite films ever since I first saw it. The fact that it is all about suggestion is the key to its greatness. "Seven" is the greatest proof that something can be utterly grotesque and also be a stunning work of art.
Hey you should do the same thing for all the Christopher Nolan movies before Interstellar comes out!
Wouldn't be much point to reviewing Nolan's movies. I'm certain he already has done TDK, TDKR and Inception. Most likely Batman Begins, too, which only leaves The Prestige and Memento. And that one black and white movie of his. But I would love to see his review on The Prestige, now that I think about it.
jonvegard31 What about Insomnia?
jonvegard31
You forget Insomnia and Following
not a bad plan.
jonvegard31 The prestige has got to be on my list of top 5 favorite movies. Would love to see him review it.
You nailed this review. By far, this is my favorite film. The different atmosphere they create for each sin is just incredible. I've never been more engrossed in a film, though Memento is a close second.
David is one of my favorite directors as well...just the way he makes his movies are all so...unique?? And are just oscar-worthy films. Girl with the dragon tattoo has be my favorite movie made by him but Se7en was great as well. Nice video Chris :)
Dude se7en was a crazy movie
DaTruth2014 Indeed it was. That's one of the reasons why it was so damn good! :D
Really? I thought Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a huge let down. It was identical to the original and offered nothing new. Someone might argue saying, "It's a remake; how much different can they make it?" and I would tell them to watch Let the Right One In and Let Me In. That's how a remake is made. Fincher is one of the best, though.
07foxmulder Accuracy is what makes book-to-film adaptations so well done to me. Wether it be a remake of another film adapting the book as well, it's still accurate to its source material.
C. Pasta What's the point of remaking something when it's going to be identical to the original? It just seemed like Hollywood was pandering to the lazy people out there who didn't want to read subtitles and to cash in on a trend.
Not surprisingly, David Fincher has also directed Fight Club, Zodiac, and 7 episodes of Mindhunter. One of my favorites in the business.
WHAT'S IN THE BOXXXX....WHAT IN THE BOXX.......WHAT'S In the boxxxxxx.........................
Countered with:
How did it get burn...how did it get burn....HOW DID IT GET Burnnn.........
uh, a shark or something?
"One of the greatest movies of all time" is a tall order, but Se7en is certainly one of the most original and eery films of all time. Acted to perfection, tone is sublime. Certainly one of the defining films of the decade of the '90s.
Is it really? Name 5 better movies? Interested to hear what they are 🙂
There's one really similar, I think it's the bone collector
I absolutely love Se7en is one if my favorites. The reason I loved Prisoners so much was because it reminded me of Se7en. Also I don't care what anyone says I love Zodiac aswell and I can't wait till Gone Girl.
I agree 100% with all said.
Prisoners is an outstanding movie very underrated. Jake and Hugh were phenomenal and Paul Dano!
Seven is a masterpiece
Yeah! One of the best movies of all time!
I want to mention the: "this is not even my desk" scene. Get me every time. And the ending, the final minute, the last sentences between the captain and Freeman and the quote of Hemingway, no music, just sirens and darkness fading... Its one of my favorite ending of all time.
Please create a Donnie Darko Explained video.
Jake gyllenhaal is in a lot of confusing movies. Source code, Donnie darko, enemy
And people said inception was confusing, Donnie Dario is confusing as hell. I think it's all about alternate dimensions but still
I don't think 'Donnie Darko' should really be explained. Its a mesmeric film of stunning intelligence and confidence, and a triumph for the American independent movement; but to give the film an entirely logical and definite answer would be to do it a disservice.
robertlutece1912 exactly, we don't need things explained to us, we already have speilberg and tarantino dumbing down audiences.
robertlutece1912 I don't buy it, don't you feel awe when finding out how things work? To me it makes it all the more wonderful, from a tree to the universe to Donnie Darko.
I was just thinking, either this city is a gritty version of Gotham OR it's Hell.
What's in the box?????!!!!!
DRM
His wife's head SPOILER BITCH!
The Mystery Box Dude what the fuck? thanks for spoiling the ACTUAL ending
10nomak Im just doing my job.
"It's a souvenir, your wife's pretty head!"
“Some critics said the ending sucks”.
Chris, would you be so kind as to give me those critic’s names.
And addresses.
Wow man didn't know you loved this movie so much haha
hahaha xD
I love this review in a certain aspect; It's common knowledge that a certain actor didn't want to be mentioned in the film credits (until the end), and the fact that you didn't mention his name or his picture in this video just shows a lot of respect to that idea, and the respect to the ideology of film and the people who make these films.
I just finished watching this movie for the first time and when it ended I just sat on my couch in awe for a good 5-10 minutes watching the credits roll
I've not seen anyone appreciate the artistry of the closing credits for Se7en.
Most people only remember the opening credits, which undoubtedly was excellent.
Just saw this last night. Really entertaining movie. Several minutes before the climax, I knew what was ultimately going to happen. But seeing it come full circle is still enthralling as hell. And hearing Kevin Spacey explain why he does the things he do makes you think twice about the world as it is, and how it operates.
God this movie is amazing. The best thing about it is the way you get images in your head about the sick things in this movie without Fincher ever actually showing a person being killed or anything. He puts everything in place but ultimately allows the viewer to use their imagination with it, which makes the movie even more haunting and twisted. Love this movie and love Fincher! I can't wait to watch your other reviews of his films, Chris.
ALSO ZODIAC
I haven't seen that yet
Zodiac was really good for first half but after RDJ was cut from the film it kinda lost me sine the actul killer was vague.
I have to say while Zodiac had some really powerful scenes I think it did drag a little bit by the end.
10nomak
That's the point. It's not fiction. It's based heavily on real life events. The Zodiac Killer existed. He killed. He got away with it. If they told you who the killer was, it wouldn't be true to the events that occurred.
Are you on the Robert Downey jr bandwagon?
I get chills whenever I hear John Doe’s, “DETECTIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!” scream.
The review's too short, need more detail for this masterpiece.
"Drenched in dread" is a good way to put it. I couldn't agree with you more about Se7en. It's special, and I don't think I can bear to watch it a second time. It really gets in you.
Yes!!! Keep these ones coming! Love this segment!
Part of what scares me about this movie is that Morgan Freeman's character (Somerset) is a seasoned detective who has seen all kinds of horrific crimes. And yet, this serial killer genuinely frightens him and makes him question everything he's ever learned or experienced.
Please, oh please review Memento. I can tell, just by this review that you love it and i do too.
I also feel like Se7en to David Fincher is like Memento to Christopher Nolan. Their first film wasn't that amazing, (But Following is a trillion times better than Alien 3) then these directors got to make their own film with a better budget and better actors, to show their true potential.
Now they are both among the Top 5 directors working today.
I agree
An element of Seven that cannot be overlooked is it's musical score. It builds the dark, gritty feel of this film to a crescendo of fevered intensity while at the same time having moments of heartfelt warmth or haunted melancholy. This film has always had a "tumblers in a lock" feeling for me, where each part clicks into place perfectly.
That's actually the first thing I noticed about this film; it has amazing ambiance music.
Dr Famine
Agreed, the ambient score sets the tone and really sticks with you. Within 30 seconds, it will put you right back in to the movie's mood.
No wonder I had loved Gone Girl. Didn't know it was directed by David Fincher as well.
I am so looking forward to a David Fincher review marathon! I LOVE Fincher.
I watched for the first time last night (don’t ask me how!! I just didn’t know it existed) and i loved it soooooo much i want to erase it from my memory and watch it all over again. It was just PERFECT. The perfect amount of gore. Not too much that you can’t watch any more. Gave me room to breathe after the sloth scene. Run time wasn’t ridiculously long. Ending is just beyooooond. Just an all around perfect movie. I can’t really fault it. Of course the technical aspects are also crazy good.
Chris, I gotta tell ya man. I genuinely appreciate what you do. I've seen these movies countless times but you make me excited to watch them again. For that I thank you good sir.
The history of how 7even finally came to be is super interesting. Not to give anything away, but it was almost a *COMPLETELY* different movie starring Sylvester Stallone.... don't think I need to say more.
Man! Completely agree with you. People often look at its darkness, but with Paltrow, even though she meets such a terrible end, and Freeman and Pitt's back and forth, sharing both irrational and rational fear of evil and what's to be done about it, those dogs, the 'vibrating home,' Pitt's eagerness, there's actually quite a bit of light in this movie. And woah, when Freeman delivers his last line, I get chills. Genuinely, it makes me feel warm, somehow, even though the final act seems to envelope us in hopelessness. Fucking amazing movie with knockout performances.
WHAT'S IN THE F*CKING BOX?!
I saw seven opening day at the Sam Eric 4 in downtown Philly. When the lights came up.. The entire theatre was dead silent. You could hear a pin drop. Then murmurs of "thats it".. "is it over" people where actually whispering these words. I stood up and began applauding. A surreal experience.
Why didnt he mention Kevin Spacey in the whole review his performance was so sick and twisted the acting was so fucking good...
Probably because he didn't want to reveal the identity of the murderer
Pancratius Of Old That makes sense, you're probably right :)
Zvonko Mocic
It's confirmed. He doesn't have his name displayed at the beginning of the movie at all, because they didn't want to give it away.
Fincher is a fucking genius man...
Zvonko Mocic
Slažem se
I've only noticed after like 4 years of this review being out that Chris never spoils the actor playing the killer, fucking brilliant
Again you review one of my 10/10 movies, great job!
I swear I thought of the city as William Somerset's own personal purgatory. He just relives the last two weeks of his retirement over and over.
What the hell man? Did you not talk about the villain's amazing performance for spoiler reasons? I hope that's why cause otherwise you did not do that man justice. I didn't mention him by name in case it was for spoiler reasons :)
kevin spacey is as creepy irl as in his movies
Fantastic review, Chris. This is IMO David Fincher's magnum opus and is also one of my favorite films of all time. The acting, writing, directing, cinematography, music, and tension were all top notch and the climax is one of the most nail-biting, suspenseful endings I've ever seen. Can't wait for more Fincher movie reviews!
My top 5 favorite david fincher films:
1: se7en
2: fight club
3: the social network
4: zodiac
5: the girl with the dragon tattoo
Agreed.
I just watched this movie because of your review and, DAMN, that's what movies should look like. It's like a slap on the face of whoever watches it. Just brilliant. Can't believe I missed it all this time. Keep making this favorite movies section.
Favourite film, director and actor (Brad Pitt).
MORE DAVID FINCHER REVIEWS? THANK GOD STUCKMANN
This movie is fucked up but really good, Kevin Spader is great

Badass review Chris! One of my favorite movies as well. Also nice editing on this video. Especially when you got under the covers.
Se7en also has one of the best foot chase sequences in all of film and yet no one ever mentions it in their reviews. Inconceivable.
For real, this is a rather perfect film. The direction, writing, acting, cinematography, everything, perfection. The opening credits alone are incredible.
I've been saying Se7en has the greatest ending to a movie since '89.
what movie are you referring to from 89?
Rixa Cherimoya I'm not referring to any movie from 89. I'm talking about the SE7EN. That's how good the ending was. It was so good, it affected me before it happened
Down In Front xDDD oh, okay
Sir, Se7en came out in 95, so you couldn't have even known about the ending at that point because even FINCHER didn't know about it.
Sorry. Flawed logic.
I'm sorry you missed out on sarcasm, or just didn't bother to read my previous comment.
Also, sorry for your lack of sense of humor.
Kevin Spacey was also in The Usual Suspects, which I believe was released the same year as Se7en, and also has one of the best film endings of all time. I hope some day you get a chance to review it, Chris.
On a more current note, a pivotal scene in the new Borat 2 film just released on Amazon Prime is heavily inspired by The Usual Suspects, so fans of the Borat series should also check out the film.
You should review A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES. It's also a bit noir, and awesome.
He's said that he watched it late and couldn't review it, he said he'd give it a B+
Didn't know it. In which video he said that? Thanks.
He tweeted it.
garner montgomery Ah, nice then.
Agreed really surprisingly good movie!
After so many years not seeing this movie (I tend to keep away from crime/investigating movies) I saw this on Netflix and decided to give it a watch. I now can claim that Se7en is one of my all time favorite movies. I have never had a movie make me feel the tension I was supposed to feel, I've never been so invested in a crime movie that was entirely a fictional movie. I was actually on the edge at my seat and screaming/crying at my screen during the climax/ending. I am so utterly lucky to have seen this movie where I was not spoiled about anything about the movie other than the basic plot of it. In fact, the reason I came to see your review is because I was so amazed by this movie that I had to see if anyone else felt the same way about this movie as me. Se7en was THAT incredible to me. A true classic of a movie and one that I adore and can rewatch over and over again.
EPIC T SHIRT!! And obviously, epic review. Good job.
watching this se7en years later
Look at that, this video came out
Se7en years ago lol
Looking foward to your reviews, Chris. Fincher is one of my favorite directors.
Seven is a Masterpiece... Case Closed !!!
This is one of your best reviews, great job Chris.
Definitely one of the best movies ever made. That and the usual suspects
djguy100 both have Kevin spacey
Zachary's Channel both made in 1995
One of your best reviews, incredibly on the mark!
Ernest Hemingway wan once wrote: “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.” I agree with the second part.
So glad you reviewed this, I've just watched it for the first time, wow... What an ending I was shocked and hoping it wouldnt be what I thought it was!!
Here after the batman 2022
Really looking forward to the remaining Fincher reviews. Can you review Requiem for a Dream and Memento after that? Thanks.
Alien 3 kicks ass. And it is perhaps the deepest one and the one that shows the human side of Ripley the best.

"If his head splits open and a UFO comes flying out, I want you to have expected it".. I swear, at that point of the film, I 'was' expecting something like that!
Great line from a brilliant film.
I just saw the movie after watching this review. And to be honest, I was sort of let down. The movie wasn't bad by any means, but to be honest I wasn't shocked by the ending. I think that watching the review "prepared" me for what was to come. I anticipated what was probably going to be in the box, especially when he said there were two bodies left, and the guys wife was pregnant. I think if I didn't watch this review on it and just came across the movie on my own, I would have been more shocked and awed. I was really looking forward to this movie too. I wanted to be impressed and really caught off guard by the twist at the end but I wasn't. Still a great movie. Just wish I was "dazzled" and "awed" like the majority of the people who saw it. I love when movies do that.
I thought the second bodie was john doe himself and not the baby... (because the baby has nothing to do with the 7 death.... I dont know whats the english word but you know what I mean ^^)
BlessTheKnife That's because you watched it 20 years after it came out and have probably seen all the movies that borrowed from it, including the trendy twist ending movies of the late 90's and early 2000's including 6th Sense.
At the time this came out...Many, many movies were trying to copy
Silence of the Lambs, doing the crazy genius, psycho killer villain.
Se&en was the movie that came out and did it right after 5 years of lame psychological thrillers from the Cape Fear remake to The Fan with Robert Deniro
+BlessTheKnife i think people were disgusted, not dazzled. no one was dazzled when they saw the ending. disturbed, disgusted, motionless
Same thing happened to me.
Speaking as someone who can watch Evil Dead or Dead Alive while eating and feel nothing, the Sloth scene in this movie still freaks me the hell out.
I don't know what it is exactly but it's just really disturbing on an emotional level.
