SE7EN; Carlisle's Final Word

"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."
William Somerset.

Script Logic; 2/2

Pace; 2/2

Acting; 2/2

Aesthetic; 2/2

Originality & Intention; 2/2

Score; 10/10

Final Word; As a film, Se7en represents a flawless achievement (a very are thing), but it’s an incredibly tough film to watch. I’m sure everyone’s already seen this, but I’ll still hold back from revealing spoilers- surface to say, it’s a grim film with a sucker-punch ending that will stay with you for years to come. Another genre defining classic responsible for a string of knock-offs and pale imitations, which luckily have done nothing to diminish the film's achievements. Even to this day, the film feels contemporary.
