We are vile laughing puppets dancing on a disgusting stage. How much fun we have dancing and fucking without a single thought, not knowing that we are nothing and our purpose is different' - as right and wise as these words may seem, I cannot sympathize and sympathize with the homicidal maniac stalked by two detectives in the movie 'Seven'. An old man detective and his young partner find bodies, and next to them letters and the names of sins written on the walls, for which people have been punished by a certain maniac who seeks to rid the world of sinners. The cleverness and calculating nature of the maniac is astounding as he leads the police around his finger and kills his victims in the most torturous ways. If you have already begun to empathize with this killer, then do not hurry, because the one is based on the seven deadly sins invented centuries ago. For example, gluttony is not a sin for a long time, because there is practically no deficit in food, and therefore no one will suffer from the fact that someone will eat twice as much as others. Or, for example, why punish a prostitute for lust? After all, she doesn't experience this lust, she makes money from it. In general, this is a simple lunatic who has read a couple of books and thinks he's smart. And he rather discredits his morals and his views with his inadequacy and lack of logic. As for strategy, he's really good at it. It was interesting to watch even considering that I found out the ending by accident years ago.

As for the two cops, they are quite ordinary, for the detective genre in particular: an old man who has lost his grip, strongly reminiscent of the detective from 'No Place for Old Men Here' and an ambitious young partner with little experience. We can see the classic 'good, bad, evil' system, where the good one is the old man detective played by Morgan Freeman, the bad one is the cunning maniac played by Kevin Spacey, and the evil one is the rookie partner played by Brad Pitt.

Gloominess, cruelty, pessimism characteristic for noir movies are successfully selected for the corresponding plot. David Fincher did his best, but it should be noted that, in my opinion, he did not make something outstanding. Just a good plot, not bad noir atmosphere, not bad characters. Nothing special, but the movie will not bore you.
