The 2nd movie of the day about twist endings. The first was The Sixth Sense. The ending of Se7en just guts you when you first see it and even when watching again, you are anticipating the ending, but not necessarily in a good way. Brad Pitt shows again that for all the pretty boy looks, he is really a good actor. Morgan Freeman is just solid as Morgan Freeman always is. It’s gritty and dark and told in a way that makes you wonder what you’re going to see next, even if you have a pretty good idea of what’s coming. Se7en does something that I think all good movies with a twist need to emulate. The name of the major character who is somewhat of a surprise is not in the opening credits. You aren’t wondering where they are going to show up and expect someone in a significant role somewhere in the movie. Instead, when they do come into the movie, that shock adds to their story line. Not for the faint of heart but one of David Fincher’s best.
