Critics Consensus

A brutal, relentlessly grimy shocker with taut performances, slick gore effects, and a haunting finale.

Boston Globe

When Seven, with its velvety world of bottomless evil, taps you on the shoulder, your instinct will be to dive under the theater seat.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

I wouldn't go so far as to call David Fincher's Seven the most terrifying film ever, but it's right up there on the top shelf with Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs.

Rated: 4.5/5

Gene Siskel

Chicago Tribune

The results of the killings are needlessly grotesque and don't really serve the smart screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker and the artful direction of David Fincher. All of this talent is worth seeing if you can look past the gruesome details.

Rated: 3/4

Seven doesn't take you to hell and back; it takes you to hell and keeps you there, looking around and wondering how it had come to this.

Rated: A-

Independent on Sunday

There is no denying that Seven is a deeply unpleasant movie. But I believe it is a fine one, too. It doesn't glory in its depravity, but keeps a distance from it.

News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)

All the literary allusions and cinema school self-consciousness can't save Fincher from drowning in the tawdry waste of this dreadful, brutal, abusive movie. Go, our little moviemaker, and sin no more.

Rated: 1/4

Directed by David Fincher, the story is about an old inspector named William Somerset and had to do his last mission with a young new inspector, David Mills. They are going to investigate on the murder of a obese man. Quickly, multiple other cases come one after another. The two inspector starts to make a link with all of those cases. The plots is absorbing because there always is a new murders that are happening and it makes you stay concentrated on the movie. The photography is incredible and impressive, it’s very well executed. The acting is amazing, all of the characters of the film are very good actors and make us stay focused on the movie. Generally I love this film because it shows humans feelings. It is a very good and interesting crime film. If you haven’t seen it yet, you don’t know what you have been missing!

One of Fincher's top films. Great script, really big actors before being legends, and one hell of a plot twist. What's in the box? A film that I can rewatch several times.

Shawan S

"Seven" is a scary neo-noir thriller film by David Fincher set in a dreary, rain-soaked metropolitan setting. It examines morality, human depravity, evil, and innocence. The film's great performances by Freeman, Pitt, and Spacey, as well as its impressive photography, create a sense of dread that lasts long beyond the credits.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
